For Inbound Travelers: Visa-free Transit Extended to 240 Hours — What It Means in Zhangjiajie
With the 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit policy in place, inbound travelers entering via Zhangjiajie Hehua International Airport clear customs more easily, and scenic areas keep improving multilingual signs and services.
Good news for inbound visitors planning a Zhangjiajie trip: visa-free transit stays have been extended, so travelers entering through an approved port can remain longer within the permitted area — handy for stopovers or short trips. Zhangjiajie Hehua International Airport is one of the applicable ports.
The city keeps improving the inbound experience, including:
- multilingual (Chinese / English / Korean, etc.) signage at major scenic areas;
- guides in less-common languages;
- greater acceptance of foreign-card payments;
- a route network connecting several international destinations.
Always verify before you travel: eligible nationalities, permitted stay areas, ports and required documents — follow the National Immigration Administration and official announcements, as policies differ by nationality.
