Air

There are several flights a day to Kūnmíng (Y730) but in April (when the Water-Splashing Festival is held) you’ll need to book tickets several days in advance to get either in or out.

There’s also two flights daily to Lìjiāng (Y840). You can also fly to Bangkok (Y1630) and Chiang Mai (Y1630) from here.

Tickets anywhere can be bought at the CAAC booking office (Zhōngguó Mínháng; 212 7040; Jingde Lu; 8am-9pm). Credit cards and travellers cheques are not accepted. Cash only.
