Bailie Square is the end of the line for buses #15 and #131, approximately 45 minutes ride from the centre of the city. Both these buses run along the banks of the Yellow River, #131 on the north bank and #15 on the south bank. The buses go past the popular tourist attraction of the Zhongshan bridge, which is an obvious landmark to orientate yourself by.
Buses are frequent, the last bus is listed on each bus-stop sign (usually about 10pm).
