Getting there & away

Land

Bus

Several long-distance bus stations are located north of the Changjiang Donglu and Mingguang Lu intersection in the city’s east, which is a bit confusing. Buses leave from the Héféi long-distance bus station (Héféi qìchē zhàn; 168 Mingguang Lu) for Hángzhōu (Y150, eight hours), Wǔhàn (Y140, 10 hours) and Túnxī (Y28, seven hours). Buses from the long-distance bus station (429 6413; 35 Shengli Lu) across from the Xinya Hotel on Shengli Lu run to Nánjīng (Y40, 2½ hours, every 40 minutes), Shànghǎi (Y110 to Y140, six hours, six daily), Hángzhōu (Y105 to Y143, 5½ hours, seven daily), Wǔhàn (Y90 to Y120, eight hours, five daily), Chángshā (Y218, 12 hours, once daily) and Qīngdǎo (Y160, 12 hours, once daily).

Train

The train station is 4km northeast of the city centre. Trains go to Shànghǎi (Y198, 8½ hours), Běijīng (Y263, 12 hours), Nánjīng (Y49, five hours) and Tiānjīn (Y200, 10 hours). The train to Túnxī (Y96, seven hours) is more comfortable than the bus.
