Accommodation

Because Yongshan is a small county, there is no 5-star or 4-star hotels. If you need these 5-star and 4-star hotels, you can go to Zhaotong for 4-star hotels and to Kunming for 5-star hotels. Although the county is small, the hotels are clean and confortable. 

Transportation

The transportation system of Yongshan is poor now. There is no airport and train station. So people need to take long-distance buses from Kunming and Zhaotong. And then do not take the unlicensed cab or taxi when you stay in Yongshan.

Banks

You can change you money in Kunming and Zhaotong, for there is not any bank which could help you exchange money.
