Hong Kong to Zhangjiajie High-Speed Train

With no direct trains to get from Hong Kong to Zhangjiajie, nor from Hong Kong to Changsha, so basically there is no way to take a high-speed train to Zhangjiajie from Hong Kong with only one transfer. It is suggested to first get to Guilin by high-speed train and then fly to Zhangjiajie directly.

There is also no direct high-speed train from Guilin to Zhangjiajie. If you are set on going from Guilin to Zhangjiajie by high-speed train only, you’ll need to transfer to Changsha.

Many travelers who transfer to Guilin would choose to stay there for 2 or 3 days, where they can hike up to Longji Terraced Fields, cruise along the Li River, and cycle through Yangshuo countryside. We can arrange a private Guilin and Longji Tour from Hong Kong according to your needs. Please feel free to contact us!
