Getting Around

Local transport within Taijiang County mainly relies on urban–rural buses, taxis, and self-driving. The county seat is relatively compact and suitable for exploring on foot. Reaching outlying towns and attractions such as Taipan Village (home of “Village BA”) and Shidong Old Town generally requires public transport or a hired vehicle. The county seat of Taijiang (Taigong Subdistrict) is compact, with major commercial areas, government offices, and public spaces such as Xiumei Square located close together, making it well suited for walking. Simple maps of the town are available at local convenience stores or tourist information centers. As a typical mountainous county town, streets follow the terrain rather than a strict north–south layout; when asking for directions, it is often more effective to refer to landmarks such as the bus station or county government offices. Scheduled buses and tourist shuttle services to major towns and attractions depart from Taijiang Bus Station26.
