Frequently asked questions
Do I need a guide for Zhangjiajie National Forest Park?
No — many travelers visit on their own using the eco-buses included in the entrance ticket. A guide is most useful if you have limited time, want to avoid the busiest routes, travel with children or seniors, or do not want to deal with real-name ticket booking and Chinese-only signs off the main paths.
What does a private guide do on the day?
Books and checks tickets in your passport names, plans the route around crowds and weather, explains what you are seeing, orders food at local restaurants, and solves problems as they come up.
Are your guides licensed?
We work with locally licensed tour guides. Ask us for your guide's details when you book.
Is the guide price per person?
No. The guide price is per day for your whole group. Entrance tickets, cable cars and meals are paid separately or added to your quote.
How long is a guiding day?
Usually 8 hours, often starting early (around 7:30) to reach the viewpoints before the crowds. Longer days for sunrise or sunset photography can be arranged.
