What is the best way (shortest time) to get from Nanchong to Zigong and then to return to Nanchong agin? Would taking a bus be the best option or would it be better to take the train to Chengdu and then go to Zigong? If taking the bus, would it be best to go from Nanchong to the Chongqing airport and then catch a bus to Zigong?

Hi Viola, there are direct buses from Nanchong to Zigong at Nanchong Bus Station. You can follow this way back to Nanchong.
