Bus

There are three bus stations in Lèshān. The main one for travellers is the Lèshān long-distance bus station, annoyingly located in the western reaches of the city though coming in you may be dropped at any of them. Another is in the northern reaches of town.

For Chéngdū, the third one, the bus station next to the Lèshān docks is the most convenient. Buses leave for Chéngdū’s Xinnanmen bus station every hour (Y31, two hours, 7.30am to 6.30pm). There are also frequent departures to Éméi town from here (Y7, 7am to 6pm). For all other destinations you’ll have to go to the long-distance bus stations.

See box below for bus info.

Train

No matter that ticket sellers swear blind there is a station here, there simply is no train service to Lèshān. It still means Éméi Shān, or more likely Jiājiāng, both about an hour away by bus. (A new high-speed train is running from Chéngdū to Éméi Shān, but the bus is still faster.)
