Guilin – Yangshuo Train vs. Coach
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 CNY27/35 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 20m – 45m. 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. See also:

00ReplyGuilin North Station is a little bit closer than West Station. You can use bus No. 100 or transfer or taxi. As for the show, to be honest, I did not get its story but it is good to "see".

00ReplyNow most buses go from the South Bus Station which is at Chadian Road, Xiangshan District. Compared with the old one near railway station, it is indeed a little far now.
