There are now 18 passenger "official" buses (versus the little privately run vans you can also catch) to Ganlanba. Tickets are 7.5 kuai at the Jinghong No. 2 bus station. It pulls into a bus station at Ganlanba (which did look rather shiny and new). Traveling to and fro, i definitely got car sick from the windy roads (and sick from all the second hand smoke).

Minibuses leave about every 45 minutes from Jinghong headed straight to Ganlanba. I think the buses depart when a full load of 6 passengers is met.
The ride is 45 minutes and costs about 6 yuan. The trip is almost entire along the Mekong River and the road is windy. Because of the windy road and the erratic driving, you could become sick so if you are the type that gets automobile-sickness, be prepared as this is a rough ride.
The buses leave about every 45 minutes from Ganlanba. There is not a bus station in Ganlanba, rather the buses depart from an intersection in the middle of town - and you purchase your tickets right there at a table on the sidewalk.
Because of the frequent and short bus ride, Ganlanba can be made a pleasant day trip, but there is lots to explore beyond the town so you may want to stay for a night or two.
