Hi, Are there any buses running in early November from Chengdu to (Yading) Daocheng and from (Yading) Daocheng to Shangri La (Yunnan) ? Is it possible to reach Daocheng from Chengdu in a (long) day ? I read 2 days were needed... Thank you for your input.

@Rick It is better if you can reserve to secure tickets in advance. Yes, we can reserve tickets on your bahalf. We were told by other travelers that it takes about 15 hours for the bus journey. In the past, it used to stop at Kangding for one night and continue journey the next morning. Nowdays, it's said that passenger can arrive Daocheng at about 9:00 pm the same day. Throughout the journey, it would make several stops to let passengers go restaurant for lunch, go toilet and etc.

Hi! We're planning to go from Chengdu to Daocheng by bus on the 23th of September. A couple of questions on this: Do we have to book tickets in advance as the golden week is nearing and it's still high season? And can we do it via you? Just to confirm. The bus ride is 12 hours straight, right? We don't have to stop in Kanding? Thanks in advance!

@Worapat It's not as busy as you imaged and there should be no problem for you to purchase tickets even on the spot. For other information on travel route and etc, you will have to consult with the bus operator or the driver.

We would like to travel from Chengdu to Daocheng 2 people on 11-10-2019 So, kindly let me know as per below. Due to the peak season in Daocheng, how often are the bus tickets sold out. Please recommend the best way. Where could we buy the return tickets? does the bus stop at Kangding for returning ?
