In the planetary nebulae (PNe) studies, their distance determination remains a confusing issue. The statistical distance scales cannot be regarded as reliable, and there are few PNe with individual distance determinations. In this work, we present a distance scale based on the method of individual distance determination by Méndez et al. (1988, A&A 190, 113).
