Taking Jijiang Township (金江乡) as an example, to facilitate local residents’ travel, since November 1, 2020, the departure time from Yima Zhen Farmers’ Market (邑马珍农贸市场) has been adjusted to 8:00 a.m. (except Thursdays), and the departure time from Lijiang Passenger Station (丽江客运站) has been adjusted to 2:00 p.m. (except Wednesdays). Additionally, Lijiang has several special bus lines that also serve suburban transportation functions. For example, the Lijiang Airport Shuttle (丽江机场快线) is a popular choice for many tourists arriving in Lijiang. The shuttle buses run every half hour, with a travel time of approximately 45 minutes and a fare of 20 yuan per person. The train station line operates according to train arrival times. Other lines such as the Baisha Tourism Line (白沙旅游专线), Route 101 (101路), and the Lashi Lake Scenic Area Line (拉市海景区专线) operate normally and adjust the number of trips and vehicles according to real-time passenger flow.

The existence of suburban buses in Lijiang not only promotes the movement of people and the exchange of goods between urban and rural areas but also aids in the development and utilization of suburban tourism resources. This makes it easier for tourists to delve into the natural scenery and folk culture of the suburbs of Lijiang.
