If you have already got your ticket on hand, you could reach there around 30mins in advance. If you still need to pick up the ticket at the station, you need to arrive there around 45minbs in advance.

Answered by Colin from USA | May. 19, 2019 17:33

You can choose to collect your ticket out in advance therefore, you do not need to repeat this process on that day. I think 30 to 40min would do with advanced paper ticket.

Asked by Neli from LAOS | Jan. 18, 2019 00:55

Is there anyone know how to go from the cruise port to Yichang East Station?

Any recommended hotel near the station? I am considering an early morning train to Shanghai. Or it is better to choose a hotel in city center?

You can take bus b1k to the East Station directly, around 50min. You can also take taxi which takes around 25min. There is a Lavande Hotel. You can consider it. If you go to this hotel directly, you can take bus b1 to brt Jiechenglu.
