I will be arriving on 5pm in Fenghuang. And spend the night.

Yes, you can stay one more day so that you can have chance to see everything.
As for the bus duration, may I know where your destination is?

Thank you for your answers.

1) From FH to Jishou train station, do I take bus #1036? They said it is hard to catch that bus. Please tell me how to get to the Jishou train station.

2) I will take bus from Zhangjiajie to FH directly.
I don't need to take local bus when I get there?
Where and how?

3) What time is the last bus from Jishou to FH?

Thank you

1) It’s a long-distance bus ride, which is not numbered as city buses. There are many departures per day with an interval of 20-30 minutes. No worry. Upon arrival, just take a taxi to train station; it takes about CNY5.

2) Yes, you don’t need to change to a local bus. The long-distance bus runs directly to FH from Zhangjiajie.

3) It’s 20:30 or 21:00 depands on passenger flow.
