Lijiang Train Schedule

Located in Shangji Village of Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang Railway Station is about 10 kilometers (6 miles) from Lijiang Old Town. As a major station along Kunming - Lijiang and Qujing-Kunming-Lijiang railways, Lijiang Railway Station only operates trains to/from Kunming, Dali, Qujing and other nearby cities. Direct trains from Lijiang to Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Guilin, Guangzhou, Chengdu and other far places are not available and most passengers choose to transfer in Kunming.

However, a flight trip may be more preferable sometimes, especially in low seasons. For instance, flights to Beijing from Lijiang Airport take about 3.5 - 4 hours and the ticket fare may lower to CNY630 (USD 86.95) in low season; flights to Shanghai take around 3 - 3.5 hours and the ticket fare may be low to CNY460 (USD 63.49) when discounts are offered by the airlines; flights to Xi'an may just cost CNY385 (USD 53.14) for a 2-hour journey; flights to Guangzhou take about 2.5 hours and the ticket fare may be low to CNY500 (USD 69.01) when discounts are offered by the airlines in low season; flights to Chengdu take about 1.5 hours and the ticket fare may be low to CNY400 (USD 55.21) when a great discount is provided in low season.

The local transportation in Dali is not convenient. The best way is to take a taxi, the price is no more than CNY20 per car.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Recently China Railway Company is making schedule adjustment including this trip. Therefore, the trains are not available for sale at this time since July 9. You may check the schedule again later in July. Once the tickets released for sale, we will updated information on our website too. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No direct train or flight between Lijiang and Qingdao. I suggest you take a flight from Lijiang to Kunming, then Kunming to Qingdao. Train will take much more time.

You can take bus No. 4 or 18 to reach the Old Town from station. Or you can go by carpool too, about CNY40 per person. To the airport, you can take a taxi to Lantian Hotel first and then take the airport shuttle bus to the airport. There is also bus No. 27 can be used but it is not very recommended as it runs on a small road and a little hard to walk to the airport from bus stop. Carpool is also frequently used, most hostels offer this arrangement, CNY80.
