Guilin Traffic Safety Tips Guide

Avoiding Taking the High-speed Rail at Guilin West Station
Guilin West Station is located in the southwest of the city, about 20-25 kilometers away from the city center. It is the farthest of the three railway stations. Due to the long distance, it takes tourists a considerable amount of time to travel from the West Station to the city center, and the transportation connections are not as convenient as those at Guilin Station and Guilin North Station. If possible, it is recommended to avoid Guilin West Station and choose Guilin Station or Guilin North Station as the arrival and departure points. These two stations are located within the city or in the suburbs, making travel more convenient. If it is inevitable to go to the West Station, taxis, ride-hailing services or long-distance buses can be chosen, but sufficient time should be reserved in advance.

Taking a Regular Taxi
Make sure to take a regular taxi when hailing one. Regular taxis will have a unified meter, and the fare can be charged by the meter. Online ride-hailing services are also a very reliable option. The driver's information is transparent, the charges are reasonable, and you can check the prices in advance to reduce the risk of being overcharged.

Traffic Restrictions on Some Sections of Yangshuo City's Roads
Yangshuo, as a popular tourist destination near Guilin, has implemented traffic restrictions on some sections of its urban roads. Especially during the peak tourist season, the traffic flow is very heavy. When tourists drive electric vehicles, they may encounter some road closures or traffic congestion. If you are riding an electric bike or a bicycle, please avoid restricted sections and follow traffic rules to avoid unnecessary fines.
The road conditions in Yangshuo are rather complex. Especially during holidays when there are a large number of tourists, it is recommended to pay attention to traffic safety, wear helmets and follow traffic signals.

Making Advance Reservation for a Car or a Charter Bus
In Guilin, especially during peak tourist seasons (such as holidays, summer vacation, etc.), taking a taxi may involve long queues or the inability to find a vehicle. Especially in the urban areas and popular tourist spots like Yangshuo, there is a shortage of taxis, leading to traffic congestion and long waiting times.
It is recommended to make a reservation for a taxi in advance or consider booking a chartered vehicle. Especially when traveling in groups, a chartered vehicle is more convenient and comfortable than taking a taxi, and it won't be affected by the traffic congestion during peak hours.

Choosing a Reliable Cruise Line Company
The cruise ships on the Li River are a classic tourist attraction in Guilin. However, unscrupulous merchants might lure tourists with low-priced tickets for these cruises. Make sure to choose official cruise terminals, such as Mopan Mountain Terminal and Zhujiang Terminal. These terminals' cruise ships usually have legal qualifications, and the ship quality and service are guaranteed.

Avoid Traveling during Peak Hours
During holidays and peak tourist seasons, the traffic in Guilin is extremely heavy. Try to avoid traveling during peak periods, especially during the morning and evening rush hours.

Preferably Know the Transportation Routes
If you are not familiar with the local traffic, you can check online traffic information in advance or consult the staff at the hotel front desk or tourist information centers to ensure a smooth travel route.
