Is this Holiday Inn Express Yichang Riverside hotel far from Yichang East Station?

Answers (1)

Answered by Victor from USA | Nov. 26, 2019 18:41

Not very far in distance, about 15min driving. It should not be hard to get a taxi from hotel or the train station.

Asked by Tessie | May. 17, 2019 00:31

If you have already got your ticket on hand, you could reach there around 30mins in advance. If you still need to pick up the ticket at the station, you need to arrive there around 45minbs in advance.

Answered by Colin from USA | May. 19, 2019 17:33

You can choose to collect your ticket out in advance therefore, you do not need to repeat this process on that day. I think 30 to 40min would do with advanced paper ticket.

Asked by Neli from LAOS | Jan. 18, 2019 00:55

Is there anyone know how to go from the cruise port to Yichang East Station?

Any recommended hotel near the station? I am considering an early morning train to Shanghai. Or it is better to choose a hotel in city center?
