The standard is, to take a cheap bus to a small city, to go on hitchhiking. I took a bus to Dujiangyan. In 2010 you can still see a lot of destruction of the earthquake of 2008. But the trucks take you with them for free, and they are more comfortable than any bus.
== Going South ==Going south towards Leshan you want to get on a bus heading for the airport, and get of by the homeland hotel about 4 km before the airport. From there you turn left (with your back to the hotel), and walk over the airport express road with heavy traffic. Soon you can get on the G4301 (ringroad), where you walk for a few km, before you can turn right onto the G5. Just after the toll, there is a gas station with a lot of cars filling up their tanks for a looong ride south who all want you to come along! Great hh spot, allthough it takes some time to get there.You can check buses going the airport here http://www.cdairport.com/front_en/jt4.jsp I took a metro to the south railway station (2-3 RMB), from there I took a citybus 300 Walked a while from the trainstation to find it, and they got me of the right place. If you are going south (towards Yunnan) or west (towards Kangding and Litang), you can also get a bus to Pujiang from the Xinnanmen Bus Station located in the city center. Tickets are 27RMB (approx. $4.50). The bus station in Pujiang is a 5 minute walk to the highway where you should be able to find a ride.
Ask the driver if he's going on the Chengya Gaosu, that's the highway between CHENGdu and YA'an. "Ni wang chengya gaosu neibian ma?".
