How far is it from Chengdu Railway Station to Jinli and what bus should I take?

You can take bus No.57 directly at the bus stop of North Railway Station (turn right when you leave the station), just below Wuhou Temple and next to Jinli!

There are many hotels near Wuhou Temple (check /hotel/hotellist.asp), such as Chengdu Xinyijia Hotel Chain (Wuhou Store), Chengdu Anyi 158 Hotel Chain (Wuhou Store), Sichuan Jinli Free Time Hotel, etc. There is also a hotel in Jinli called Chengdu Jinli Inn, which is expensive and the room is tight.
