Two-Day, One-Night Ethnic Town Tour from Zhangjiajie

A two-day, one-night tour of ethnic minority ancient towns from Zhangjiajie.
While a day trip by high-speed train from Zhangjiajie is possible, staying overnight in one of the ancient towns to enjoy the illuminated night scenery is highly recommended.
The top recommendation is Furong Town, which has a charming atmosphere reminiscent of the movie 'Spirited Away,' especially during its nighttime light-up.

☑️ Furong Town
From Zhangjiajie West Station, it takes about 30 minutes by high-speed train to Furong Town Station, followed by a 30-minute taxi ride to reach the town.
There is an entrance fee of 108 yuan for the ancient town, but you can enjoy several free shows held multiple times a day, so be sure to check the schedule.
You can also enjoy the "Waterfall Behind the Curtain" attraction.

☑️ Fenghuang Ancient Town
From Zhangjiajie West Station, it takes about 1 hour by high-speed train to Fenghuang Ancient Town Station, followed by a 30-minute bus ride to reach the town.
Fenghuang Ancient Town is located in a basin, making the morning mist particularly beautiful.
To avoid crowds, it is recommended to explore the town in the early morning or before noon.

Both ancient towns offer unique experiences during the day and at night, so make sure to enjoy both.
