Before you go
Accommodation
Foreign visitors cannot stay at the World Dinosaur Valley hot springs resort. Book hotels in downtown Jinshan Town; options are modest compared to major Yunnan tourist cities.
Money
Lufeng is a cash-based destination. Bring sufficient yuan cash for admission fees, transport, and meals, as card payment options are not widely documented.
Transport
Bus no. 10 connects Lufeng South Railway Station, Lufeng Bus Station, World Dinosaur Valley, and the Lufeng Dinosaur Museum. It's the most practical public transport option for sightseeing.
