Zhàoxīng Getting there & around

Getting there & away

From Kǎilǐ you have to travel first to Cóngjiāng (Y61, eight hours) and change there for a bus to Zhàoxīng (Y15). Direct buses running from Cóngjiāng aren’t frequent however, so consider getting on a Lípíng-bound bus and changing halfway (the bus driver will tell you) for a Dìpíng bus.

Alternatively, if you’re looking to stretch your legs, take a Luòxiāng-bound bus from Cóngjiāng (Y15, two hours), and from Luòxiāng it’s a lovely 1½-hour walk along a dirt road to Zhàoxīng, passing through a number of smaller villages en route.

From Zhàoxīng there is at least one Lípíng–Sānjiāng bus passing through each way. The trip to Sānjiāng, in Guǎngxī, takes about five hours. From there you can catch an onward bus to Guìlín.
