From Xiaguan Bus Station:
Expect to pay 40 RMB for a taxi to the Jade Emu 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 No.4 bus terminal (
). It should cost 5 RMB. From there buses leave every 5-10 minutes. The fare is 1.5 RMB. Get off at the 'Red Dragon Well' stop in Dali Old Town (
) . This is one stop after the bus enters the small South Gate of Dali Old Town. Walk upstream (a waterway runs down the pathway) until you reach the Red Dragon Well Gate on the West Wall of Dali Old Town (approximately 3 mins walk). Pass through it and cross the Highway, walk right 20m and turn left at the small road. You should see a Jade Emu Guesthouse sign on your left. 50m up this road, turn right. You will see the Jade Emu International Guesthouse entrance...
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. You're going the right way if you pass the transit police building. Walk about 500m until you see the Jade Emu International Guesthouse sign on a wall and turn right up a small street (you will also see the West Wall beginning 30m ahead of you on the other side of the highway). 50m up this small road, turn right and you will see the Jade Emu entrance...
