[quote=JABAROOTOO,263003]Hi Ellyse I've made the trip from Panzhihua to Lijiang and it's not the kind of trip you want to make during the night. The scenery is spectacular and the road is incredibly windy, cobbled(a little rough) and high above the rivers with steep unguarded drops. Panzhihua, I now realize ison the Yangtze river as well although it is called the Jinsha up there. It's a minimum of ten hours if the road is not obstructed. We had a minor accident coming into Lijiang which added and hour to our trip and the bus will make a late lunch stop and perhaps one other pit stop. Panzhihua is a pretty decent city with a small expat community working on dams and other infrastructure outside the town and I'm sure will have plenty of good value hotels. The bus station is on the south western outskirts on the city in a pretty seedy area and the train station is a good 20 mins or so by taxi across town. We didn't actually stop here. Just got off the early morning train and went straight to the bus. Ours left at about 7/7.30am and I doubt there are more than one or two a day on such a long haul trip. Just have to make enquiries as soon as you arrive in Lijiang unless you get a reply to this thread. It's a great trip.[/quote]
