Getting to Yangjiajie from Wulingyuan east gate

Does someone know if there’s an eco bus connecting yangjiajie to east gate? I couldn’t find any information on this. All I could find is take regional bus to west gate or eco bus from within national park Yuanjiajie area. Also are there eco bus connecting Wulong to the east gate? Thanks

In Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, the eco bus system is the main mode of transport within the park, connecting various scenic areas including Yuanjiajie, Yangjiajie, and different park gates. However, information about direct connections from Yangjiajie to the Wulingyuan East Gate is a bit nuanced.

Here is what you need to know:

  • The eco buses inside the park mainly operate between key scenic spots and gates. From Yangjiajie, you can typically take the internal eco bus to Yuanjiajie or to the nearest interchange points, but there is no dedicated eco bus that goes directly to the East Gate.
  • To reach the East Gate from Yangjiajie, most visitors take the eco bus to a central hub (e.g., Yuanjiajie or the bus interchange near the Bailong Elevator) and then transfer to another eco bus that heads to the East Gate.
  • There are also regional buses connecting the Wulingyuan town area to the East Gate and West Gate, which can be used if you are outside the park entrance and trying to get there from town.

Additional tips:

  • Check the latest eco bus schedules at the park entrance or visitor center, as routes and frequencies may change seasonally.
  • If flexibility is important, consider hiring a local guide or private shuttle—they can help navigate the eco bus system efficiently and reduce waiting times.
  • Be prepared for some walking between bus stops and scenic entrances, especially in areas where eco buses do not go directly.

In summary, there isn’t a direct eco bus from Yangjiajie to the East Gate, but by combining the internal eco bus lines and possibly regional buses, you can reach the East Gate. Planning your route and checking schedules in advance will make the journey smoother.
