Guilin - Yangshuo Bus

 

Aside from a high speed rail trip, passengers can also take a coach to travel between the two places. Over 35 long-distance buses are operated daily, taking 1.5 hours for a single trip. Ticket fare is about CNY 27 - 35 (US$ 3.9 - 5) based on the different stations. Facilities and services on coaches are not as good as that on high speed trains. Also, bullet trains only take 20min – 47min. It is a pity that Yanghsuo Railway Station is about 34 kilometers (21 miles) from the downtown area. Transportation around is not that convenient. However, if arriving by long-distance bus, tourists will get off inside the downtown area directly. In this case, they can go to the West Street, Li River, Yulong River and other attraction sites easily.
