Zöigê Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Zöigê has two bus stations, one at the western edge of town and the other, on the same road, in the southeast. The western bus station has services to all destinations while the southeastern only has buses to Sōngpān. If you’re heading to Sōngpān and can’t get a ticket at the western station, it’s worth trying at the southeastern one.

Buses run to Sōngpān (Y56, six hours, 6.30/6am summer/winter). Buses to Lǎngmùsì also run (Y25, 3½ hours, 2.30/2pm summer/winter); you could also await buses passing through from Hóngyuán. (A taxi to Langmusi costs approximately Y300.)

From Langmusi you can get to Hézuò in Gānsù province which is only a few hours from Xiàhé. From Xiàhé you have the option of travelling on to Lánzhōu or taking the more unusual option of heading to Xīníng in Qīnghǎi province, via Tóngrén.
