Self-help tour to Zhangjiajie should pay attention to six aspects: anti-pickpocketing, anti-fraud, transportation, catering, accommodation and good health.
Anti-pickpocketing and anti-theft: Be more careful in railway stations, bus stations and buses, and take good care of your valuables.
Fraud prevention: Don't trust the soliciting staff of the travel agency on the train to Zhangjiajie and the bus to Zhangjiajie.
Transportation: Don't take a cheap taxi in Zhangjiajie. There is a phenomenon of robbing and slaughtering passengers in airport taxis, so you must be careful when choosing taxis. You'd better negotiate the price with the local tour guide, who has contacted you in advance. Don't go to entertainment places that may be illegal introduced by taxi drivers. Whenever you take a taxi, remember the car number.
Catering: know the price in detail before consumption, and don't get angry when checking out. Try not to spoil your good mood of traveling in Zhangjiajie for a meal. Price is not a measure of good taste. Delicious and clean, happiness is the key. Spend a little more money as a tourist, as long as you are happy.
In terms of accommodation, don't go to the hotel recommended by them with the soliciting staff or aunts at the exit of airports, railway stations and bus stations. It's best to book a room before coming to Zhangjiajie, especially to find a temporary place to live at night.
Good health: the temperature difference at the foot of Zhangjiajie Mountain is large, especially in autumn and winter, and the temperature is low. Pay attention to keep warm. The fewer backpacks you have, the lighter the better. It's best to bring an umbrella or rain-proof underwear, sunglasses, sun hat and at least three sets of replacement underwear and socks, prepare some disinfection paper towels and wet paper towels, shoes with thick soles and non-slip sports shoes, and also prepare some band-AIDS, anti-inflammatory tablets and leak-proof tablets.
