Questions & Answers on Zhangjiajie Weather in December

Asked by Gwen from INDONESIA | Aug. 08, 2024 21:29

Traveling in December 2024

Is there any public transportation that cover Tianmen Mountain, Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, and Bailong Elevator? Can we cross the glass bridge in winter?

Answers (2)

Answered by Keith | Aug. 11, 2024 18:45

Bailong Elevator is in Zhangjiajie National Park, and the glass bridge is in Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon. There are buses running between the three attractions.

You can take the direct bus at the east gate of the national park to Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon.

And also, there is the Wulingyuan Bus Station near the east gate where you can take a direct bus to Zhangjiajie Central Bus Station, which is only 10min walking to Tianmen Mountain and also has buses to the grand canyon.

It's advised you go to the most famous national park first, then to Tianmen Mountain, then take a direct bus at the nearby central bus station to the grand canyon for the glass bridge.

You can cross the bridge in winter if there is no snow.
