On the gate of Guangnan bus station you can take No,3 and the terminal is Bamei( price is 8 yuan ,about cost 1 hour).After get off the bus you need to take boat or go on walk to get to there. We suggest to walk because along to the river you can enjoy the beautiful landscape.
By boat
Access to Bamei from the Fali side by boat through the cave.
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.
On Mondays there is a market on the main road downstream at Fali village and then nearly all boats are used by all the villagers on their way to and from the market to buy and sell goods
