Accommodation

Because Yiliang 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

Yiliang's transportation system is poor now. There is no airport but there is a train station. So people need to take long-distance buses or take trains from Kunming and Zhaotong. And then do not take the unlicensed cab or taxi when you stay in Yiliang.
