Is it possible to drive with a private taxi from Kunming to Yuangyang?
If yes, whuat is the cost for two passengers?
We have to reserve in advance or we can get it while staing in Kunming?
Thank you
Dear Lualdo Giuseppina,
As far as I know, the local taxi drivers in Kunming are reluctant to go to Yuanyang since it is beyond the city of Kunming. They are not willing to return empty unless you pay more for your single trip. If you insist in taxiing to Yuanyuang, you need to negotiate with your taxi driver for the final taxi fare. We don’t know the market price.
In addition, people would take the long-distance bus.
Timetable for the buses:
Kunming South Bus Station: Bus No. 0300 Starting from Kunming at 10:20 Bus fare 139 yuan
Bus No. 0304 Starting from Kunming at 12:30 Bus fare 139 yuan
Bus No. 0303 Starting from Kunming at 19:30 Bus fare 139 yuan
The above is only for your reference!
Taxi from Kunming Changshui airport to Kunming South railway station, at around 8AM,
-. do they go by meters or I need negotiate the fare?
-. how much is reasonable rate?
-. how long will it take?
Best Regards,
Dear Sung Lee,
About 45-minute taxi drive, taxi fare at approx. 145 yuan. It is heard that there still exist negotiated prices among some of the local taxi drivers who may ask for 180 yuan.
Have a good luck!
I need taxi for 4 persons from Dazhen plaza, kunming to shilin stone forest in the morning.How much will it cost if single journey? How much if return journey? ( 3 hr waiting time)
Dear Lam Siew Choon,
Thanks for your inquiry!
It’s better to negotiate with your taxi driver for the taxi fare upon your arrival in Kunming. Have a nice time!
