I took the 10:10AM bus from Chongqing south to Guizhou province and it’s capital of Guiyang. There must have been 100 bridges and tunnels on the 5.5 hour stretch of new highway between the two cities. It was quite impressive. There was only one bridge that was unfinished and half the road was blocked at a time so one direction could pass.
On the way I saw a small van that rolled over on the road. I snapped a picture of it as the bus drove by. Later zooming in on the photo, you can see blood that dripped out of the van onto the road. I think the people were still inside, possibly dead.
After arriving in the city, it was a long, hot walk to the hostel. When I got there I wasn’t sure I was in the right place because it looked like a fancy hotel, not a cheap hostel. And I was right, it is more of a hotel there. The staff does not speak any English. Not many foreign travelers make it here. I got my under $10 dorm room which was pretty nice with air conditioning, good shower, cable TV, and Ethernet.
