Currently, there are about 60 bus lines opened in Hohhot City, which can reach to the city's every corner. Most of them have no conductor, so you are required to prepare CNY1 before getting on. On the other hand, the mini buses with conductors often charge by distance, costing around CNY1.5.

Taxis in the city provide 24 hours' service at reasonable prices. During the day, the flag-down rate is CNY8 for the first 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) and CNY1.5 for one kilometer (0.6 mile) thereafter. CNY1 fuel fee is charged for each ride. When the car runs more than 10 kilometers (6 miles) or travels in the nighttime between 21:00 and 06:00 the next day, the cost of each kilometer increases to CNY2. For every 5 minutes’ waiting, the taximeter automatically charges CNY1.5. During the peak hours of 07:00 – 09:00 and 17:00 – 19:00, the waiting fee is CNY2 for every 5 minutes.

From Luohu Station, take the subway Luobao line, via 3 stops, to Dajuyuan (Grand Theater) Station. Take the Exit C and walk eastwards for 300 yards, you will reach the South Baoan Road.

Well, you can walk to the West Square of Luohu Railway Station, where you can take the bus No. 321 or 18 to Xihu Hotel. Then walk southwards about 140 yards, you will reach your hotel.

If taking the subway, you can take the Luobao Line to Grand Theater Station. Take the Exit D and walk northwards along the South Baoan Road for 0.8 miles to the hotel.

Most of routes has the same schedule: the first bus in 07:00, the last bus in 20:00. But there are also some specialties, they runs from 06:10 to 21:00. You’d better check the specific route you’ll take when you reach in the city.
