Shílín Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Land

Bus

Buses to Shílín (Y30 to Y40, two hours, every 30 minutes, 8am to noon) leave from the bus station (Beijing Lu, Kūnmíng) that is opposite the long-distance bus station. Make sure you don’t get dragged onto one of the tourist buses, unless of course you want to spend the entire morning stopping off at various temples (a national obsession) and market stalls en route.

In the afternoon there are minibuses waiting at Shílín’s car park, which leave when full (Y20).

Minibuses run between Lùnán and Shílín regularly (Y1, 10 minutes). At Shílín, they leave from a stand on the main road. Horse carts cost Y15. In Lùnán, flag down anything heading north of the main traffic circle. Minibuses to Kūnmíng (Y30, two hours) depart regularly from the western side of Lùnán’s main roundabout until around 7pm.
