I am Travelling Kunming Lijiang and when I am in Kunming I would like to go to shilin stone forest from the east bus station . My questions is whether this east bus station has a baggage drop off service so that I do not need to carry my bag pack all the way to shilin and back .
According to some resources online, the east bus station does have left luggage service. You can look for it or ask the information desk for help.
Thank you for this helpful post!
Do you know if the South Station also has a luggage service?
Yes, the south bus station also has left luggage service.
Thanks for your information. Can you show me which bus will go from East bus station to West bus station?
That is a very long bus journey, and requires you to change bus. Taking a taxi would be better.
