Chengdu, located in southwest China, is the capital of Sichuan province.

Hitchhiking out

Like all big cities in China, its a real effort to get out of town. 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.

If you are going south (towards Yunnan) or west (towards Kangding and Litang), you can 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?".

Chengdu is the door to the tibetian- Sichuan. The hitchhiking situation changes complete. Any people take you with them and the cities are small, so you can walk out easy.
