Bus Schedule

Hi

How can I find the schedule for long distance buses from Beijing (eg: Beijing to Datong).

Should I buy the bus tickets in advance or at the bus station? Can the hotel buy bus tickets for me (like buying train or plane tickets?).

thank you.

Bus schedules can be a pain to find out. Most long-distance bus stations don%26#39;t have a working website. Even if they do have one, don%26#39;t expect it to be in anything other than Chinese.

You could go a couple of days earlier to the bus station and buy the tickets, and also take the chance to familiarise yourself with the logistics of getting there and where to board the bus, etc.

From Zhaogongkou station is better,price is 100 rmb,around 395 km.You can find the middle section is the time

If you can purchase tickets in advance,is better to buy in advance,but if no chance,then you go to the bus staion ,usually have tickets left

Good luck
