Get in

Yuncheng is connected to the China high speed rail network via Yuncheng North station. There are frequent services to Xi'an, Taiyuan and Beijing. Daily direct services connect Yuncheng with Chengdu ( and on to Kunming), Chongqing, Qingdao, Jinan and Lanzhou. Those wishing to travel south via Zhengzhou will need to change in Xi'an or take a bus to SanMenXia station to connect with the high speed rail network there. There is also Yuncheng train station which caters for the regular trains which travel generally overnight to other destinations. If you are travelling onwards to Luoyang, taking a bus is recommended as the only direct trains take six hours and the bus is just over two and a half hours.

From Yuncheng North Station, you can take a local bus (number 7) to the center of Yuncheng, it passes the central bus station (if you need to go to SanMenXia) and on to the regular slow train station. Number 14 will take you to Nanfeng Plaza via Walmart (both have international food options). There is currently no direct bus link between the North Station and the airport, however a taxi will be around 20yuan.

Yuncheng Guangong Airport (YCU) has Flights from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and several other key cities with at least a once a day service. Its popularity has waned in view of the increased long distance services using the high speed rail network but it is an excellent option if time is critical.
