The municipal government announced 15 coach routes from the North Station plaza, including services toward Yaoli and Hongyan; this guide explains when they work and when a private car is more practical.
Tourism-relevant routes in the official notice
The municipal notice of April 30, 2026 announced 15 coach routes from the North Station north plaza, covering Changjiang townships, Leping, Fuliang and visitor destinations including Yaoli and Hongyan. The listed Yaoli service passes Taoxichuan Theatre, North Station, Fuliang Ancient County Office, Porcelain Palace, Hanxi, Gaoling China Village, Dongbu and Yaoli.
The notice lists a full fare of RMB 15 for Yaoli and RMB 10 for Hongyan. Timetables and stops can change; confirm the exact service for your travel date through the notice's enquiry number, 0798-8569000.
Who can use public coaches comfortably
They suit budget-focused solo travelers with light luggage, flexible time and enough Chinese for operational questions. Arrive early at the north plaza and confirm the bay, return service and any payment or identity requirements.
Do not judge by straight-line distance alone. Multiple stops and limited departures mean a missed return can disrupt the evening, and foreign visitors should check accepted payment methods in advance.
When a private car is more practical
For two or more travelers, luggage, seniors, children, foreign-language interpretation, or a one-day chain of Fuliang, Porcelain Palace, Gaoling, Dongbu and Yaoli, a private car reduces transfers and waiting. Confirm vehicle, service hours, parking, tolls and driver expenses in writing.
A specialist ceramic route can add raw-material sites, historic kilns, villages or studios, but avoid overloading one day. Coordinating the vehicle and multilingual guide also turns road time into useful historical and technical interpretation.
