Thanks for sharing this wonderful place with everyone. 😊

Thank you too!

Thank you for the nicely edited but yet informative Furong town destination. It does capture the town's atmosphere ( as it is) - not pretentious and I enjoyed watching it. Looks like there is another place to venture when touring Zhangjiajie. Appreciate your efforts. 👍👍👍

@gibbontravelogue Месяц назад

Thanks for the kind words, really made my day! Have a great trip to Zhangjiajie!

@brettriley9607 2 месяца назад

This is a great video. Everything I was seeing made it seem as though Furong Town and Zhangjiajie were so far apart but the journey you took makes it seem so doable for an afternoon/night!

@gibbontravelogue 2 месяца назад

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, very doable indeed. A day trip will be sufficient. However, the night scene in Furong is quite amazing so stay late and take the last train, or spend the night at Furong.

Thanks for the encouragement! Thanks for supporting this channel!

thank you very much for your swift reply. Your video was very helpful as I was just wondering where else I could go in Zhangjiajie on my 3rd day.

@gibbontravelogue Месяц назад

Glad it was helpful! For sure, Furong will be a great choice. If you have more time, you should also visit Fenghuang Ancient Town. Within Zhangjiajie, make sure to spend time at the Grand Canyon and Tianmen Mountain on top of Zhangjiajie Nation Forest Park.

Hi Gilbert and Lilian, Thank you for sharing your trip experience to Furong. Great video! I'll be going there at the end of October and will be staying one night there. Keep sharing. From Luan.

@gibbontravelogue Месяц назад

Thanks Luan. October will be an excellent time to be there. But watch out the golden weekend from 1st to 7th Oct, best to avoid.

@luanyee Месяц назад

Thanks, Gilbert. I'll be going to Zhangjiajie, Furong and Fenghuang from 23 October to 6 November. I am taking my own sweet time to explore the places.

@gibbontravelogue Месяц назад

@@luanyee Fantastic! Have a great trip!

@lilychan2665 Месяц назад

what I mean is it is safe to travel back late at night to Hampton Hilton after the cultural show?

@gibbontravelogue Месяц назад

Yes, yes. It is safe. After the show, there is still some buffer till the last train. But so keep a close eye on the clock.

@lilychan2665 Месяц назад

Hi Gib, from ZJJ West to Furongzhen or Furong South station? Can I juse Travel China Guide to buy tickets? Is it easy to travel back to Hampton late at night?

@gibbontravelogue Месяц назад

Not too sure about Travel China Guide. We used Trip.com to get our tickets pretty seamlessly. Take the train from ZJJ west station to Furong Zheng Station, just one stop.

When was this photo taken? No tourist around.

@gibbontravelogue 2 месяца назад

We went there in March when the weather was nice and cool but with the occasional rain. It was considered low season, so not super crowded.

@happy2gether1000 Месяц назад

Thank u so much for your info. May I know can tourist self drive in China?

@gibbontravelogue Месяц назад

@@happy2gether1000 Hey! Glad u find it useful. Unfortunately, in China, your local or even international driving license is not accepted in China so you can rent a car but you can’t drive. You will need to rent a driver as well.

@happy2gether1000 Месяц назад

Any good places to go in Suzhou and Hangzhou exclude city?
