Lijiang is a world famous tourist destination that boasts many scenic spots such as the Old Town of Lijiang, Yulong Snow Mountain, and Lugu Lake.

Since the launch of the bullet train (Kunming-Lijiang) on Jan 5, 2019, the travel time from Kunming to Lijiang has been shortened from nine hours to three hours, more than three hours faster than road transportation.

From Jan 5 to March 3, a total of 400,000 passengers have taken the Kunming-Lijiang bullet train. The bullet train has become an important means of transportation for tourists and citizens.
