 Stop for a breather by GillianMcLaughlin
I set off with a fellow traveller I met over breakfast int he square. We hired bikes from the dealers at the Mao statue just outside the main gate of the old town, but bike hire is also available through many hotels and inns. Our bikes were good quality. Just wander out of the old town, you will find the main square with old Mao very easilly, and the bikes are sitting just waiting for you, around his feet.
Bike hire was not at all expensive and in plentifull supply. We paid around 10 RMB for the day, but I met someone who found a bike for 5 RMB. You will probably need to leave some documentation (they normally ask for a passport) to guarantee that you will return the bike. Leave a Comment Theme: BicycleOther Contact: Just ask around

The biggest bus (Volvo) costs RMB 50. Non-smoking. Takes about 4 hours.
Don't fall asleep as the ride includes some of the most spectacular views of the surrounding area.
There are about 3 trips per day. The lastest (on this luxurious bus) is at 2:30pm. Just ask at any bus agent in the old town.
There are 2 other types of bus. They are smaller and allow smoking. They run at more frequent intervals. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

The flight ticket from Kunming costs between RMB 340 to RMB 420. Ask a few travel agents.
There is a RMB 50 airport on top of that.
The taxi ride from the airport into Lijiang costs between RMB 60 to RMB 80. The ride takes about 30 minutes. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Most travellers probably come to Lijiang via Kunming/Dali by bus. In this case it might be useful to take a plane back in order to safe time. Southern Airlines for example fly to Kunming for approximately € 40-60. I think there at least 2 daily flights, you can buy your ticket for example at the very small travel agency at the market square. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Inside the town, the best way to linger around is by foot.
The best way to go to suburbs including Yulong Mountain, Lu Gu Lake or Tiger Leaping Gorge is to rent a taxi. There are buses going either of the places, but the buses go like 1 or 2 per day, and there are still a lot of places you will miss travelling by bus.
if it's not peak season, the taxi can be very cheap. Another advantage of renting a taxi is that with a local driver, you will discover a lot of really local stuff. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

We took the bus from Dali, Took the number 8 city bus to the long distance bus depot. From there to Li Jiang it was 37 RMB, we luck out and got a nice bus (Bigger bus, soft seat, no smoking...for the most part) But in Chinese style you never go directly to you destination, spent a about an hour rive the back roads trying to pick up more customer. The waited another half hour in the old part of the city for a few more passenger, but once we were under way it was on ok ride, only about 4 hour.
Leaving Lijiang for Dali our luck was not as good on the bus, a small bus, smokers all the was, and the person who handles the ticket head head out the window yelling the whole way back tying to get more passenger. Went via a few small towns ( to drop off some hitch hikers that we picked up on the way.) But we made it back in about 3.5 hours The small bus was pretty cramped. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

I do not know how much it cost, but in my opinion, walking is the best idea.It's an easy walk more or less 2 hours long depending on how frequently you stop to take pictures. Leave a Comment Theme: Other
