Hong Kong to Kunming to Lijiang
Sep 25, 2007 05:09
guestMax Okay guys. I currently live in Hong Kong and I'm planning a trip with a couple of my mates to go to Lijiang. Our pockets aren't very deep so I was wondering what the cheapest way to get there would be.
My guess would be:
Train: HK -> Shenzhen -> Guangzhou -> Kunming
Bus: Kunming -> Lijiang
Would you say this be the best way? If so, how much do you think it would cost? Also, how long would the travel time be? Anything more than a couple of days would be a pain.

Try to get the train direct to Dali although the bus connection from Kunming to Dali is better these days. Then bus from Dali is just 3/4 hours

Why do you need to stop at Shenzhen as well? Just go directly from Guangzhou.

I have just got back from doing the same trip. HK to Guangzhou by train, stay over for 2 days, then train to Kunming, again stayed 2 days and then bus through to Dali and Lijiang. Not a complicated trip and fairly straight forward.

HK to Guangzhou took me about an hour and a half by train, which is a new style train and comfortable. Guangzhou to Kunming was by overnight sleeper train and took 26 hours. The bus/coach from Kunming to Lijiang took between 8 and 9 hours.

Why are you posting this under another totally unrelated thread?!
Cheapest? Trek through Tibet Autonomous Region and be an illegal immigrant, perhaps? Be careful not to get caught or else it won't be "cheap"...
