She first needed to take a train from Beijing to Wenzhou, and then take a long-distance bus from Wenzhou to Wenling.

The road in front of the railway station was where taxi drivers solicited passengers. After haggling with a driver over the fare, Yu Xiaowei got into his taxi. Her destination was Wenzhou’s Xincheng Bus Station. After arriving there, she planned to take the earliest bus to Wenling to reunite with her father, who worked there.
