Guìyáng Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Land

Bus

There are three long-distance bus stations in Guìyáng. The main long-distance bus station (chángtú qìchē zǒngzhàn) is on Yan’an Xilu, quite a trek from the train station. The Hebin Bus Depot (Hébīn Qìchē Zhàn) is just south of main artery Dusi Lu. Another bus station, Tiyu Bus Station (Tǐyú Guǎng Chángtú Yuǎnzhàn), is further south on busy Jiefang Lu. They all have similar destinations at similar times and prices. See the boxed text, below, for timetables.

Train

Guìyáng’s gleaming train station has a modern, computerised ticket office, making it one of the more pleasant places in China to buy a train ticket. However, you’ll probably find that it’s easier (and quicker) to travel within Guìzhōu by bus. You can buy tickets four days in advance. Prices listed in the boxed text are for hard sleepers.
