Helpful Tips

1. Valid identification documents must be carried at all times. Please bring household registers (Hukou) for children, student IDs for students, and relevant discount certificates for international travelers.

2. Zhangjiajie features mountainous terrain with substantial walking required at scenic spots; guests are highly recommended to wear comfortable clothing and footwear suitable for outdoor activities.

3. Temperature fluctuations between day and night are common in Zhangjiajie. Please stay mindful of weather changes, and since mountain weather can be unpredictable, kindly prepare rain gear.

4. Zhangjiajie offers a rich nightlife with diverse evening entertainment options available for your leisure.

5. The roads connecting Zhangjiajie, Fenghuang, and surrounding areas are mostly winding mountain roads; guests prone to motion sickness should prepare appropriate medication.

6. Given the humid mountain environment of Zhangjiajie, mosquitoes and insects are prevalent. Please bring insect repellent and prepare for humid conditions.

7. Certain attractions in Zhangjiajie utilize combined multi-admission tickets. Kindly listen closely to your guide’s reminders and keep your tickets secure, as lost tickets cannot be replaced and must be carried with you for the next day's tour.

8. Peak travel seasons in Zhangjiajie attract massive crowds, which may occasionally require vehicle reallocations within the fleet. Please follow your guide's arrangements when boarding or exiting vehicles and keep a close eye on your personal belongings to prevent loss.

Essential Notes

1. Due to the complex terrain and trail conditions in mountainous Zhangjiajie, please prioritize personal safety and always follow your tour guide. During thunderstorms, remain alert to lightning hazards: do not climb exposed peaks, do not hold onto iron safety chains, do not seek shelter under trees, and avoid making or receiving phone calls.

2. For major intercity transport, please arrive at the airport 2 hours prior to domestic flights, or 1.5 hours prior for train departures. Ensure all valid identification and valuables are safely kept and monitored.

3. Please keep your mobile phone on and reachable throughout the journey to enable our staff to assist you smoothly. It is also wise to memorize the phone numbers of your tour staff or fellow travelers for easy communication.

4. While capturing breathtaking views and savoring local delicacies, always safeguard your valuables. For your safety, do not venture into prohibited or closed zones, avoid wandering out alone, and keep the exact name and location of your hotel memorized.

5. Traditional local cuisine in Zhangjiajie favors bold, heavy flavors. Travelers with lighter culinary preferences should notify their guide in advance so we can communicate with restaurants during meal reservations to best accommodate your needs.

6. Zhangjiajie is a vibrant region inhabited by various ethnic minority groups. During your trip, please maintain an open mind and show utmost respect for local customs and cultural traditions.

7. Please prioritize your personal well-being during leisure time. Travelers aged 75 and above are strongly advised to be accompanied by relatives. Activities requiring physical exertion, such as mountain climbing or water rafting, should be joined only after careful personal assessment. When purchasing local specialty goods in Zhangjiajie (such as Kudzu root, rock ear mushrooms, Eucommia bark, crystals, or cured meats), remain vigilant against counterfeit products; we highly recommend buying from civic supermarkets or established shopping malls, and keeping your purchase receipts.

8. Travelers with underlying medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, or asthma, that may be aggravated by mountain travel should reconsider carefully before booking.
