Hi, would there be a taxi service from Longnan to Jiuzhaigou NP ? who can i contact to reserve one ?

Answered by Daniel | Jul. 08, 2024 01:32

Longnan in Jiangxi or Gansu? Sorry, no taxi service between the two because of the long distance. I think you need to take a train. Or you may hire a car online, but it will cost you quite a lot.

Thanks so much, is Guangyuan coach station next to Guangyuan train station? I am actually figuring out a way to get from Jiuzhaigou to Xining and trying not to return to Chengdu to take the train or flight. So I figured out that either Guangyuan or Longnan (Wudu) can connect to Xining by train. Pls let me know if there is a better way!

Answered by Keith | May. 27, 2024 23:07

Yes, it's next to the train station. And direct trains run from Guangyuan or Longnan to Xining. I just find that the coach from Jiuzhaigou Bus Station to Guangyuan has reduced its departure to one departure at 7:10 daily from May 31 and also only one departure from Jiuzhaigou Goukou Bus Station to Guangyuan at 08:30 not running daily. Maybe they don't sell more tickets online but still operating more departure on the site.

I'm unable to access the site on wechat to see the route. It's getting worrying for me as I'm not sure if there is such a bus and I need to connect to the train to Xining. Is there any update for the routes pls?

Answered by Emily | Jul. 17, 2024 22:45

Jiuzhiagou - Guangyuan bus is still running now and departs at 07:10 daily from Jiuzhaigou Bus Station. Or you can take a bus at Jiuzhaigou Goukou Bus Station to Zhenjiangguan Train Station, and catch a train there to Chengdu East Railway Station, and then transfer to a train to Guangyuan.

You can take high speed train from Xi'an North Railway Station to Chengdu East Railway Station with around 4 hours on the way. The train departs from 7:10 to 19:50 with frequency of 5-40 mins.
