Bus from Zhangjiajie West Railway station to Wulingyuan

Hello,

I will be in Zhangjiajie next october (after the golden week)

I will be arriving at Zhangjiajie west railway station, with the high speed train, and I want to go to Wulingyuan Bus terminal.

I know there's a bus going there from Zhangjiajie Bus terminal (the one near the Tianmen Cable car and the Zhangjiajie Railway Station)

But is there also a service bus departing from Zhangjiajie west railway station? (There's a bus station next to it)

Thanks for your help

Yes, there is a way to get from Zhangjiajie West Railway Station to Wulingyuan, though it is slightly less frequent than from the main Zhangjiajie Railway Station. The West Railway Station has a small bus terminal nearby where local buses and shuttle services operate.

Here are the details:

  • Direct shuttle buses: Some shuttle buses operate from Zhangjiajie West Railway Station to Wulingyuan, but the frequency is limited compared to the main station. They generally run every 1–2 hours, depending on the day and season.
  • Alternative option: If a direct bus is not available at the time you arrive, you can take a short taxi ride (around 10–15 minutes) from the West Railway Station to the main Zhangjiajie Bus Terminal near Tianmen Cable Car. From there, frequent buses to Wulingyuan run approximately every 15–20 minutes.
  • Travel time: The bus journey from either station to Wulingyuan usually takes around 40–60 minutes, depending on traffic and exact departure point.

Additional tips:

  • Buy your ticket at the station counter or from the bus driver if the service is small-scale; it’s usually not necessary to pre-book.
  • If you have a lot of luggage or want convenience, taking a taxi or arranging a private transfer directly from Zhangjiajie West Railway Station to your hotel in Wulingyuan can be more comfortable and quicker.
  • Check the bus schedule closer to your travel date, as schedules can change after peak holiday periods like Golden Week.

In summary, while there are buses from Zhangjiajie West Railway Station to Wulingyuan, the easiest and most reliable approach is to either take the direct shuttle if available or a short taxi to the main bus terminal for frequent service.
