Bamei Village Transportation

It is not very convenient to get to Bamei since it is isolaed from other places. As Bamei is far away from cities, you'd better take a coach from Kunming to Guangnan County firstly. Then rent car to a village named Fali. Then you have to walk about 1 kilometer (about 0.62 miles) to arrive at the entry-cave.

How to Get Around Bamei Village

1.By Boat

Because of the isolated village, boat is the only tool for transferring in Bamei. The villagers will guide you.

Most visitors enter Bamei from the Fali side and those in a hurry leave that way again. But Bamei is not for those in a hurry. We recommend to stay in the village at least overnight and continue the next day through the other two caves to the hamlet at the end and then go back the same way or go around by taking a ride on the back of a motorbike back to Fali village, or organise to be picked up there by your transport.

Every family in Bamei has their own boat and some are used as taxi or bus. It takes about twenty minutes each time to get through each of the three caves. There is no light other than some torches and the caves are very dark. The boatman steer their boats on experience and use the flow of the water as indicator on how to go.

In the morning there is a rush hour on the water when the children go to school.
