Hi,
I want to go from Huanguoshu to Kunming, is there train or bus service from the town in Guanling? I saw it once on the train website but now I cannot find the schedule. Can anyone help me? Thank you.
Hi Pauline Ng，
Never been to Guanling ( 关岭). But basically there should be a bus service going from Guanling to Huangguoshu.
