Hotel description: We have arranged hotels that meet the standards for tourists, but because tourism in Zhangjiajie is still in its early stages of development, it cannot yet compare with hotels of the same level in major cities. At the same time, Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan is located near the core scenic area. Due to environmental protection requirements, hotels below three-star level in Zhangjiajie have strict controls on electricity and water use in summer (hot water and air conditioning are limited to certain times). If extension is needed, the additional cost is self-paid. Also, please take good care of your luggage and belongings. Please carry valuables with you or deposit them at the front desk. Lock doors and windows when leaving the room. If lost, our agency will only assist in reporting and pursuing the matter, but will not compensate for losses. To protect the environment, all hotels in Hunan Province no longer provide disposable daily necessities. Please bring your own or purchase them at the hotel front desk;
Vehicle description: Zhangjiajie has few tourist vehicles and many people. During peak season, vehicle sharing may occur. Vehicles are uniformly allocated by the Zhangjiajie tourism fleet and eco-fleet, and multiple transfers are required inside and outside the scenic area; (after getting off, be sure to bring all your belongings and keep them safe. Please forgive any inconvenience)
