Chinese Directions for the taxi driver...

( )

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 XiaGuan train station ( ). It should cost 5 RMB and then follow the instructions (below) 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 along the highway. You're going the right way if you pass the transit police building. Walk about 450m until you see the 40 square metre Jade Emu International Guesthouse sign on right...

From LiJiang

Because of roadworks on 214 National Highway you will most likely be dropped off near the East Gate of Dali Old Town. It is a 20 minute walk from there to the Jade Emu. Alternatively a taxi will take you here for about 10 RMB. 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).


From Dali Old Town

Some mini-buses from Kunming and Lijiang 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 RMB.

From Dali Airport

A Taxi from the airport will cost 80-100 RMB to the Jade Emu International Guest House

An important note about taxi drivers...

Some drivers may try to tell you a range of stories such as 'The Jade Emu no longer exists' or 'The Jade Emu 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.
