Ruìlì Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Land

Bus

There are two bus stations in Ruìlì, the long-distance bus station in the centre of town and the north bus station at the top of Jiegang Lu. Head to the north bus station if you’re trying to get to Mángshì (Y20, last bus 6pm, leaves when full) for everything else, you’re better off going to the long-distance bus station.

For local destinations, minibuses and vans leave from the minibus stand near the jade market, or you can just flag one down in the street. Destinations include Wǎndīng (Y5), the border checkpoint at Jiěgào (Y5), and the village of Nóngdǎo (Y8). Buses to Zhāngfēng (Y10, one hour) leave from Xinjian Lu.

Air

Ruìlì has daily flight connections to Kūnmíng via Mángshì p744, which is a two-hour drive away. You can buy tickets at China Eastern Airlines (411 1111; Renmin Lu; 8.30am-6pm). Shuttle buses leave daily from the office, three hours before scheduled flights (Y60). You can also use the ticket office to book and reconfirm return flights – do so early as this is an increasingly popular flight.
