Lijiang Airport Shuttles

A small facility that doesn’t get a lot of traffic due to its isolation from the city, finding your way to downtown can be difficult for the same reason. Make sure you leave at an instant by reserving a shuttle from either local executive or private sedan providers ahead of time, looking forward to the simplicity of hopping aboard and putting your bags away.

Depending on what part of town you’re headed to, you’ll have a lot to explore. Those sticking to the south side near the airport should explore unique attractions away from the city including the Caohai Sea and the mountains of the Yulong District, while those closer to the north end have the unique majesty of Yulong Snow Mountain frosted peaks to look out at from. The east and west side are mostly uninhabited mountain space, making the heart of downtown the real place to be, from the alleys of ancient cities to the iconic national parkland of Black Dragon Pool.

In a place that makes it easy to lose track of everything, one should always stay on top of their shuttle reservation. Do so by printing out your confirmation email as well as marking down your to-dos in a personal travel journal, whether it’s details on your hotel reservation or important phone numbers to call in case of an emergency. You can also seek help from information desks scattered across the terminal of Lijiang International, not to mention utilizing public phones in case you need to contact your service provider.
