Each train coach has a place for big sutcase, which is at the entrance of one side. But as the room is limited, the availability is not guaranteed.

There is no direct public bus to your hotel. It is suggested to take public bus to city downtown, and then take taxi to you hotel. Or you can take taxi directly to hotel, the cost is around RMB50.

We are so happy to be of service to you. From Guilin airport, it is advisable to reach Guilin West Train Station along West 2nd Ring Road (with a light traffic there), with a 1.2 hour taxi ride.
Possibly the taxi driver do not use meters for such a long distance ; and a flat rate of RMB 150 will be charged for this transfer. Also an additional fee may be added for overtime driving – if there is a heavy traffic.
Have a great day there,

Thanks for your response.
How many time does it take to reach Guilin West Railway Station from Guilin Railway Station with bus 22B ?
Thanks,
Thomas
Answered by admin
If you take the Bus 22 from Guilin Railway Station to the West Station, it may take about 1 hour. If during the rush hour (7:30-9:00am, 17:30-19:00), the time will be longer. And sometimes you will need to wait 10-20 minutes to catch the bus at the bus stop.

Asked by Ovi
Thanks for the answer before. I have another question. Since taxi is not a good option now, can you suggest which bus or other kind of transport should I take if I want to go to Bin Jiang Nan Road? Thank you.
Answered by admin
You can choose to take Bus No. 22 (RMB2 yuan per person). The bus stop is located on the right hand side after you get out of the station. You can get off the bus at West Gate Bridge (西门桥) or Guilin Bus Station (汽车站). Then you can take a taxi to the hotel at Bin Jiang Nan Road, the taxi fare should be around RMB10. You need to show the driver your destination in Chinese, otherwise, he won't understand you.
Good luck!

Yes, there are taxis availlable at Guilin West Railway Station. But they are not well administered. The drivers usually don't charge you according to the taxi meter, but a fixed price at 100-150 yuan from the station to downtown Guilin. Most of them don't speak English, so it is quite hard for you to understand each other. If you are not an experienced traveler, we don't recommend you to do it.
All the best.
