Thank you very much.

@Marie,
The two places are 18 km away. To take a taxi, it takes about 30 minutes to travel from Guilin West Railway Station to Guilin Qintan Bus Station.
It's also possible to travel by city bus. To do so, you should firstly take bus route 22 from Guilin West Station to Ximenqiao Station. From Ximenqiao Station, you can change to bus route 23 to travel to Qintan Bus Station. Bus Riding time is about 2 hours and ticket price is CNY 4 Yuan.

Hi there,
I am a solo traveller from Canada, who is planning a trip to China in October.
I am confused about how to book bus tickets in advance. In some of the replies on your site, I see that you may take advanced bookings for foreigners in some occasions, but not for some routes.
Are you able to take bookings for the following?
Sat Oct 19th at 11am : Guilin to Fenghuang
Mon Oct 21st at 12:30pm : Fenghuang to Zhangjiajie
If I must buy the tickets at the bus station, how long in advance would I need to get them to ensure my seat? If timing is too tight, can I have someone from the hotel get them for me?
Best regards,

@Alain,
Tickets required are not sold online and you will have to try to purchase tickets yourself directly from the departure bus station. There should be no problem for you to do so as you are travel alone and it most likely have one seat available for you even if you purchase late.
