self driving taxi providers: WeRide (文远知行)
Pony.ai
✅ HOW TO ACTUALLY RIDE ONE
Easiest platform: 百度地图 (Baidu Maps app)
Same as Uber inside China
Select “Robotaxi / Apollo Go”
It shows pickup points
You verify passport → scan → done
Second method:
“Baidu Apollo Go (萝卜快跑)” app
But it sometimes requires a Chinese phone number.

Need to book park tickets in advance
also we need to figure out which way we are going and book the tickets accordingly
Check-in at Riverside Peak Lodge Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan National Park is from 12:00, and check-out is until 12:00.
so we arent actually staying in Zhanggiajie, we are styaing in wulingyuan. so travel to and from zhang will need to be accounted for. a didi shoudl suffice. but zhang will be used to get from zhang to furong.
thinking of removing furong to ensure we have more time in shanghai and less smaller annoying travel, and this menas houtouwan is easier done, but flexibility may be added later
Zhangjiajie → Shanghai Travel Options (Summary)
Best Option: Flight
Fastest + least stressful
~5–6 hrs total door-to-door
Taxi to Zhangjiajie Airport → Fly → Land in Shanghai Hongqiao (preferred)
More energy for Shanghai + smoother travel day
Alternative: High-Speed Train
~8–9 hrs travel + ~40 mins to station
Scenic but long and tiring
Only use if you can't get flights
Avoid
Bus / complicated routes — not worth the time or stress
Recommendation:
Fly to Shanghai Hongqiao — easiest, saves time, less fatigue, keeps trip enjoyable.
