I am thinking of travel to Zhangjiajie from Shanghai alone by air. But I am wondering what the easiest way to city center from Zhangjiajie Airport is, after I get off the airplane. Is Zhangjiajie Airport far away from the city center?

Dear Charlotte,

Thanks for contacting Top China Travel! 

Zhangjiajie Airport is only 5 kilometers away from the city center. So you can easily get to the city center by airport express, taxi or public bus. Public bus or taxi should be the easiest way to city center from Zhangjiajie Airport.

•By Public Bus
If your flight lands before 8:00 p.m., you can catch the Public Bus No.4 near the exit of the airport. It will take you to the city center and the cost is only 1 yuan.

•By Taxi
There are many taxis at eh exit of the airport. It usually charges the passengers about 30 yuan to take you the city center. But at night, the driver does not charge according to the taximeter. They usually charge higher that 30 yuan at night. 

•By Airport Express
Passengers can get free airport express rides by showing the air ticket of that day to the staff. But to be noticed, the terminal of airport express is Min Hang Hotel. If this is not the places you are heading to, you can change to a taxi or bus there. Also, you can ask the driver to stop on the half way.

You can choose which way is suitable for you. If you have a lot of luggage, taking the taxi is a good way to choose.
