Hi, Anna Ortaaslan,
Thanks for your question.
Well noted that you would like to take bus from Chongqing to Zhangjiajie.
Please kindly be advised that there is only one bus from Chongqing to Zhangjiajie every day.
The bus departs at 11:30 every day from Chongqing Bus Station 重庆汽车站( address in Chinese:重庆市渝中区菜袁路6号).
We suggest you go to the bus station to buy the tickets in advance by yourself, then take the bus on time at the station to Zhangjiajie. If you have guide service in Chongqing, it will be helpful and more convenient for you to deal with the ticket issue.
It takes about 9.5 hours on the way. In this case, you will arrive in Zhangjiajie after 21:00. The bus will stop at Zhangjiajie Zhongxin Bus Station 张家界中心汽车站 (address in Chinese:湖南省张家界市官黎路官黎坪新火车站旁). The Bus station is in the city of Zhangjiajie, which is still far from Zhangjiajie Scenic Area (Wulingyuan District). Therefore, we suggest you book a hotel in the city of Zhangjiajie on July16. Then start your Zhangjiajie tour from July 17. Mt. Tianmenshan is just at the suburbs of Zhangjiajie city, which can be your first stop in the morning of July 17.
We suggest you the Zhangjiajie tour itinerary as below for reference,
Day01 Arrival Zhangjiajie and stay at a hotel in the city of Zhangjiajie
Day02 In the morning, go to visit Mt. Tianmenshan with cable car. In the late afternoon, take bus to Wulingyuan and stay at a hotel in Wulingyuan.
