8 hours direct from Hangzhou to Zhangjiajie and Phoenix Ancient Town high-speed train departure
Metropolis ExpressOn December 6, the Zhangjihuai high-speed rail linking Zhangjiajie, Jishou, and Huaihua in Hunan Province opened for operation. At 1:42 pm, the G1369 train bound for Zhangjiajie West Station departs from Hangzhou East Railway Station. This is the first high-speed train bound for Zhangjiajie via Hangzhou. It arrives at Zhangjiajie West Station at 9:46 in the evening. The journey takes approximately 8 hours.
Zhangjihuai high-speed rail is known as “the most beautiful high-speed rail in western Hunan”. Before the opening of this high-speed rail, if you take a train from Hangzhou to Zhangjiajie, you can only take a regular-speed train, which takes more than 16 hours. Take the K1373 train from Hangzhou South Railway Station to Zhangjiajie as an example. The train was distributed at 7:16 the previous night and arrived in Zhangjiajie at 12:30 the next day. The journey took 17 hours and 14 minutes.
At present, the second-class ticket of the high-speed rail from Hangzhou to Zhangjiajie is 666 yuan, and it can be reached by a high-speed rail without changing trains. Since Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport does not have direct flights to Zhangjiajie Hehua International Airport recently, you need to transit through Changsha or Wuhan. Although the recent economy class fare is only about 500 yuan, it takes more than 5 hours to transfer. Related processes, high-speed rail still seems more cost-effective.
In addition to Zhangjiajie, Hangzhou citizens can also take the high-speed rail to Phoenix Ancient Town, Furong Town and other scenic spots. It takes about 7 hours from Hangzhou to the ancient city of Phoenix. The second-class fare is 572 yuan. To Furong Town, you can get off at Guzhangxi Station. It takes 7 hours and 35 minutes and the second-class fare is 615 yuan.
