Up to now, there is no direct bus or tourist bus between Datong South Station and Yungang Grottoes. Travelers may need a taxi which takes around 1 hour for one way. Except taxi, passengers can use city bus No. 12 from Yungang Grottoes to Shilidianxicun which should be the 11th stop first, then change to bus No. 31 to reach South Train Station. The duration may around 1.5 hours. This bus transfer works for opposite direction as well. Hope this information can help you.

Up to now, there is no high speed ride for this trip. Z7805 is indeed much faster than other rides but still a normal type. Among normal rides, Z type is indeed faster and with less stopover. For this Z7805, it should be a non-stop ride to Taiyuan.

00ReplyIt should be the problem of speed, maybe also some influence of the route too. As I know, Z type (Z7805) is the fastest one among normal rides. Also, Z type has less stopovers too. This Z8705 even does not have a stopover during the whole trip. This is definitely the best option!
