ChongQing to Nanchang, China
There are many guys carrying bamboo stick in ChongQing.
Because ChongQing landscape is hilly, those guys are sort of like porter, helping people to carry their goods.
Got on bus 141 towards the north ChongQing train station.
Got on the K806 9.47am train (196Yuan (hard seat)+90Yuan (hard sleeper)=286 Yuan~USD$42) towards Nanchang. It’s a 21 hours train ride to Nanchang and a hard sleeper cost 345 Yuan.
I bought a hard seat ticket and then upgraded it to hard sleeper in the evening and that saved me around 60Yuan.
Typical scene on a train in China
Lunch on the train (10Yuan~USD$1.50)
It’s quite hilly on the way towards Nanchang. The train spent most time inside tunnels and I guess this must be some engineering feats to build so many tunnels across the mountains.
