Hi, Ms.t. The railway hasn't been completed and it is expecting to be finished in the end of this year. At that time, passengers can get to Lijiang by train from Dali and Kunming. Now, you can get to Kunming by train or air at first and then change to buses to reach your destination.

Thanks for the reply. Where is the nearest train station to Lijiang, and how long does the bus take from there ? How are the roads ?

Mr.Sam · Answer

Hi, the nearest railway station is in Dali City, but it only has three trains to and from Kunming everyday.So it is suggested to take buses to reach Lijiang, which is much comfortable ad cost you about 10 hours. From Dali to Lijiang, it is 4 hours.

Mr.t · Answer

Thank you Mr. Sam for the information.Are there flights to there from either Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guilin, or Wuhan ? How expensive are the flights ?

Mr.Sam · Answer

As I know, Dali has lesser flights than Lijiang does. The flights to Dali mainly from Kunming and Guangzhou. Most Chinese cities have direct to Lijiang, such as Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen. But from HK, Guilin and Shenzhen, there is no flights to reach either of the two places.
