1. Please advise the distance from Sanjiang Bullet train station to Chengyang.
2. What is the approximate one way taxi fare from the station to Chengyang.
Thank you.
Hi, there
1. The distance is about 28 kilometers from Sanjiang South to Chengyang Bazhai..
2. I guess the taxi fare may range from CNY 40 – 60 (Just for reference). You can also take a minivan shared with others, but the minivan won’t go until it is full. That will cost you 20 – 25 yuan. Just for reference.
Hi,
May I know the timetable from Yangshuo to Sanjiang South.
Thanks.
Hi,
Currently, there are only one high speed train D2828 from Yangshuo to Sanjiang South (SanjiangNan), departing at 16:52 and arriving at 18:01. Journey time is 1h09m. If this train doesn’t suit your time, I would advise you to take a train from Yangshuo to Guilin first then a connecting train to Sanjiang South.
