I'm coming from Nanning what is the best transport and route going to Lijiang?

You are suggested to take direct flight to go to Lijiang. It only takes around 2 hours on the way. From Lijiang Airport, take shuttle bus to get to Lantian Hotel first. The ticket fare is CNY 20 per person. Then hire a private car to arrive at the ancient town. It costs CNY 10 to 15.
