Zhangjiajie is a really great place. You can spend a week without a problem here. There are also 7 day Tickets for 300RMB available, not only the 2 day tickets for 248RMB. I'm sure I will visit this place again in the future.
Zhangjiajie is really gorgeous and foreign tourists will flock to this place soon, I see mostly Chinese tourists. I thought that 7 days would be too long, you would have covered most of the scenic areas in 3 days max. I would say a 4d3n stay in Zhangjiajie would be good to cover most grounds.
I tried to get a Train Ticket from Nanchang to Beijing at Changsha Train Station, but they told me there are no tickets available. At the next day in Nanchang it was no problem to get a Ticket to Beijing, so the depature station can definitly sell more tickets than the other stations. And the train was only half full.
This is weird, you could get tickets anywhere for trains anywhere but glad for you that tickets were still available.
I walked from Beijing West Train Station to the Subway, but it taked two hours to get in the Subway with my backpack. Never saw this at my earlier visits, but there was people who stuff the passangers in the trains, there was really no chance to get in with luggage. And also no taxi driver want to bring me to my hotel, they just told me I should use the Metro.
That's the issue I had with Beijing taxi drivers, they indeed choose their passengers and the metro is crazily packed during peak hours.
This is my first day at home and I look forward to my next china visit. Really like this country.
I like it too, I love how culture differs from different parts and China really has many beautiful places that I don't see it back home. Xinjiang would be my next stop
