Tips and Tricks:
To reach this destination from Xining, there are regular buses departing every half an hour from the central bus station, operating between 10.30 am and 5 pm. The drop-off point is approximately 7 km away from the park's entrance and is called - 康杨镇. Taxis are available to transport you for ¥10 per person to the entrance. 🚖Keep in mind that the final return bus is around 4.30 pm, necessitating an early departure to avoid being stranded.(Timetable can vary depending on season)
If you're on a budget and don't want to use Kanbula National Forest Park's provided buses which might cost up to ¥200 per person. We recommend on talking to the drivers at the taxi stand and negotiate the price for a tour. We paid ¥300 together for tour through the park and additional ¥40 for getting from the taxi stand to the park and back (each way ¥20).🙃
Exchange WeChat contacts with your driver in case if you decide to spend a little bit more time to appreciate one of the viewpoints or in case if you want him/her to pick you up at other end of one of many staircases that traverse the park. 🏃🏃♀️
Ask a taxi driver to drop you off at the bus stop to Xining after you're done exploring the park and they will gladly do so.❤️
Enjoy!
