Kunming-Nujiang Transportation

Located in West of Yunnan, Nujiang Prefecture got its name from Nujiang River that flows through from north to south, which is one of the Three Parallel Rivers, a world heritage site listed by UNESCO. It’s more than 500km away from Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province. In general, traffic in Nujiang is not very convenient and there is only long-distance bus connecting the two cities.
