At the 2023 Chinese Championships, Zhang placed eighth in the uneven bars final.[3] She then competed at the 2023 Kazan Friendly where the Chinese team lost to Russia. Individually, Zhang won the bronze medal in the all-around despite placing fourth, due to the two-per-country rule. In the event finals, she won silver medals on both vault and uneven bars.[4]

She made her senior debut at the 2024 Cottbus World Cup.[5] She finished fourth on the uneven bars, only 0.100 away from the bronze medalist Maellyse Brassart.[6] She was selected to compete for China at the 2024 Summer Olympics alongside Luo Huan, Ou Yushan, Qiu Qiyuan and Zhou Yaqin.[7]
