Bte, if I can make it for the train, do you recommend the sleeper bus or is it a pain in the ass (had really bad experiences in India...)

hi laotou, thanks for the advice! Ive seen they're selling online the high-speed train tickets as well. I'll try to call. Do you think I can book tickets for the kunming-lijiang train when I'll be in Shanghai? or they sell the tickets only in the city of departure? Buying it in Shanghai would be great!!

I've seen lijiang it is getting touristy, which I dont like, but biking around the city surroundings should be quite?

bte, any guess where this photo has been taken? sobreturismo.es/wp-content/uploads/lijiang.jpg

Thanks!!

Thank you very much ludwig for your prompt answer!

I thing I can make myself clear enough for buying a train ticket in a chinese agency (我想两个k9608/k9605门票 or 我想今天k9608/k9605两张门票 should be enough?) I dont speak chinese but I know about 20 basic words that i learnt when I was on exchange in Beijing two years ago.

Ive been looking for flights on ctrip, travelzen and elong and everything i get is 2310cny at least. However, SHA-KMG is 1100cny. Do you know if i can get a better price if I buy the tickets in an agency?

Finally, what is it realistic to visit in two days? Just lijiang? lijiang-tlg? lijiang-tlg-dali?

Thanks again!!

Hi there,

I was wondering if you might be able to give me some advice. Im planning to go to Lijiang some time around 15-20th November and I would like to reach Lijiang by train. Im planning to arrive to Kunming from Shanghai around 1140am and I would like to know if there's a train from Kunming to Lijiang in the night (think so, in fact) and if it is possible to book the train ticket the same day. Any advice where should i book it? I dont speak chinese so I guess it will be a little bit challenging. Same for Lijiang-Kunming, I would like to know if there is a train in the night and where to book it.

Thanks in advance guys!!

bte, is it worthy to stay one day in kunming or should i head straight to lijiang?

Thanks!!
