Thank you for your comment! Unfortunately I just realized, that I did not hitchhike at all within big cities in China. So I can not help you with specific informations. But check out my guide about that topic in general. Maybe it helps!

Hey, im currently hichhiking in China. I arrived from kazakhstan and im going south to vietnam. But its been two days and its working pretty well, but not as good as what you describe. I should change a bit my letter because im often dropped in bus station, but my main problem is : how to get out of big cities ? Im just walking to the entrance of the highway but it takes a lot of time. Any tips ?
By the way, I love your blog. Im a huge fan of kerouac, and even if your writting in more cynical I love it. I was thinking of myself as a professionnel hichhiker since I came from France hichhiking, but when Im reading you i feel like I still have a lot to learn ! Cheers !

Just fantastic. I just had a sign saying 'can I please ride for free' and it worked no probs. plenty of people laughed and gasped with disbelief when seeing it, but pickups were easy and mostly (except quiet towns at night with little traffic) less than 30 mins :))) I got from vietnam to guillin -> avatar film national park -> huashan -> xian -> chengdu -> Beijing-> Great Wall -> back to huashan and xian -> shanghai in 15 days exact. Got meals and hotels paid for me and police stopping busses for me on several occasions :0 also happened when hitching from Indonesia through to vietnam and happening now in Japan :))) just amazed how it works!!!

In reply to Elek. Hey Elek, thank you for this question. I thought the note would be in the galery I added, but it isn't. I will correct this immediately!

Hallo! You mention a note that showed to people explaining that you were a hitchhiker, etc. Could you post a picture of this note for us others who are interested in hitchhiking China?
Cheers!
