We recommend you print this page to avoid any potential problems finding us. The Chinese directions and map are very useful for showing a taxi driver or asking a Local for directions.
From Xiaguan (also called Dali New City) Bus Station:
Expect to pay 40-50 RMB for a taxi to the Jade Emu/Roo International Guest House. The taxi driver will not use a meter to get to Dali Old Town. This is the standard rate for locals as well.
Alternatively, for those on a tight budget... Catch a taxi to the XiaGuan train station (5 RMB) and follow the instructions below for getting here from XiaGuan train station.
From Xiaguan Train Station:
Catch the No.8 Bus outside the train station. The fare is 1.5 RMB. Get off at the West Gate in Dali Old Town (approximately 30 minutes on the bus. It is the last stop). From the West Gate, cross the highway and turn left (walking south along the highway). You're going the right way if you pass the transit police building and see a large blue sign above the highway titled "wu miao hui". Walk about 500m until you see the Jade Emu International Guesthouse sign (on a 5m pole beside the highway) and turn right up the small street. You will then see the 40 square metre sign ahead of you for the Jade Emu and Jade Roo guesthouses...
From Dali Old Town
Some mini-buses from Kunming will drop you off in Dali Old Town at various locations. With the map in hand it is an easy walk to the Guest House. If it's been a long day and your backpack/luggage is too heavy, a local taxi will drive you to the Guest House for 10-15 RMB.
From Dali Airport
A Taxi from the airport should cost 90 RMB to the Jade Emu/Jade Roo International Guest House
From LiJiang
With roadworks occurring on the Yunnan-Tibet Highway around Dali, most buses from LiJiang will currently drop passengers off near the East Gate of Dali Old Town and require a taxi (10-15 RMB) or a 20 minute walk to get here. Be sure to tell the bus driver you want to get off at Dali Old Town or otherwise you might find yourself in XiaGuan (Dali New City).
An important note about taxi drivers...
Please note some drivers may try to tell you a range of stories such as "The Jade Emu or the Jade Roo no longer exists" or "The Jade Emu or the Jade Roo is in a dangerous area of Dali". They do this in an attempt to take you to a less reputable guesthouse that pays them commission to take you there. Our advice in this situation is to find another driver.
