Zhaoxing

From Zhaoxing to Sanjiang. There's no direct bus any more. Take the bus which passes through the village towards Sanjiang at around 8am. It costs 16Y and takes you as far as a weak bridge. Change here to a Sanjiang bound bus. The road on the Zhaoxing side of the bridge is OK, but due to the construction traffic for the new motorway and express train tracks it's clogged with lorries. On the Guangxi side it's being resurfaced sporadically as of September 2009 - by the look of it it will be complete by Christmas. It takes around 4 hours from Zhaoxing to Sanjiang in total.

From Zhaoxing to Guilin. Take the 8am bus as above. Once at the bridge change to the Guilin bus. You'll have to be quick as they fill up fast. If you miss the direct Guilin bus take the Sanjiang bound bus and let the bus driver know you want to go to Guilin, and another bus will magically be waiting for you outside Sanjiang.

From "Zhaoxing to Congjiang" meets at 0730 near the drum tower. Look for 从江Congjiang on the bus. From Congjiang, one may travel to most destinations in the region.
