How much for taxi from Lijiang to Shangri-la and then to KMG?

Oh, the journeys are a little bit far and it is not that easy to hire a taxi, let alone at night time. Instead, you may consider hiring a private car. It costs CNY800 or around to Shangri-la, and the fare is CNY1,000 or more for the other route.

I don't think hiring a car is the best way to go. Direct long-distance buses are available at LJ Bus Station for SHangfri-la, and you may fly from Shangri-la to KMG.
