Gānzī Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Buses to Gānzī (Y106, 10 to 12 hours) leave Kāngdìng daily at 6.15am. A bus to Kāngdìng leaves Gānzī every morning at 6.30am. Buses to Dégé (Y60, eight to ten hours) run every two to three days if demand warrants it; it usually doesn’t, so most of the time you hope for a seat on the daily bus which passes through from the south, usually at 8.30am or so.

Private minivans to Dégé are available for hire (Y450), not a bad deal if there’s a group of you.

You can head north from Gānzī to Xīníng in Qīnghǎi province via Sêrshu (daily, Y94, nine hours). These buses come from Kāngdìng and stop in the morning around 8am; hope for a seat.
