By City-bus

Public buses run to nearly every corner of Yichang City and some of the suburb areas. The public buses are an essential part of people's daily life. Most of the buses here do not have a conductor. The fare is CNY1 and CNY2 for buses with air-conditioning, so you'd better take some small change. There are 35 bus lines in Yichang City. Usually, buses numbered over 100 run to some farther suburb areas - for example No.100 runs from Yiling Square to Xinzhan Stop.

Bus No.10 is a good bus line for visitors. It travels from the Third Wharf to Sanyou Caves, passing Yiling Square, Shrimp Valley, Luozu Temple, White Horse Caves and Sanyou Caves. It starts at 06:40 and ends at 17:00 from the Third Wharf. Apart from that, Bus No.8 which runs from the Third Wharf to Gezhouba Hydropower Station is a special bus line to the Three Gorges. Visitors can get on the public bus to get an overview of the city.
