In October 2013 there was a daily bus running between Tiger Leaping Gorge and Baishuitai at a price of 55 RMB. Tickets can be purchased at Tina's Guest House or Tibet Guest House. Taxis can also be arranged, at a price of around 300 RMB.

In August 2013 there were two daily busses operating between Shangri-la and Baishuitai, one leaving Shangri-la at 9 am and one at 2 pm. The ticket price was 25 RMB. The journey of about 90 km lasts around 3 hours, because of the very difficult mountain road.
