Hot Springs Hostel Reviews

Location and Contact

Location

• If coming from Kunming train station, catch bus number 32, on Yong Sheng Road, a 10 minute walk from the train station. The Yong Sheng Road bus-stop is the very first one for bus 32, so you cannot get the directions wrong!
• Helpful hint: Yong Sheng Road cuts across Yong Ping Road; 'Yong Ping' is much more easily pronounced (and understood) than 'Yong Sheng', especially if u have a South Carolina drawl or an East London cockney accent! (double smiley.) So ask for Yong Ping Road, and if coming from the train station, turn right and 30 meters on, is Yong Sheng Road.
• The bus journey takes approximately 45 minutes and costs only 2 yuan. After half an hour on the bus, through typical Chinese city traffic, it will be easy to spot many road signs for Fubao Road in English. Fubao Road is a long 6 km stretch of road, 6 car lanes in width, with trees lined on each side.
• At the very end of Fubao Road, that is, after riding through about 6 km of pleasant tree-lined boulevard, comes a T-junction; look out for a Big Blue Billboard (BBB) advertisement ahead of you, (slightly to the left). The BBB is 25 meters in width, for a water theme park and features a Caucasian couple in swimwear, haha! Get off there. The name of the bus-stop is Fubao WenHwa Cheng, which is the last stop on Fubao Road.
• (If coming in at night, you might just miss seeing the BBB. Just remember Fubao Road ends at a T-junction, which means the road lamps end there).
• There is a carpark to the left of the Big Blue Billboard. Walking through the carpark past the security guard, you will see a big stone fountain. Nearby is a 2 meter high Swiss figurine, (reminds me of one of the dwarfs in ‘Snow White’), with his left hand pointing to the hostel's front desk reception. A usually pleasant-looking receptionist awaits you there - ask for the hostel co-ordinator and yours truly (your English-speaking host) will come running over..
• From the airport: take the airport bus (13 yuan or 25 yuan, depending on the bus company) to the train station (50 minutes). Then, follow long-winded instructions above.
• From East Bus Station: take bus 60 (2 yuan and 50 minutes) to the train station and then follow long-winded instructions above.
• From South Bus Station: Congratulations! Take the spanking new subway to the train station, then follow long-winded instructions above.
