A Beautiful Pavillion on a Pond in Baodingshan

We asked our cab to bring us to the Caiyuanba Bus Station 菜园坝 in Chongqing. Just like last time, the taxi took a circuitous road through the city. The Caiyuanba Bus Station has a lot of buses going to various destinations especially in the neighboring Sichuan province. This is the my first time to use a bus station in China so I didn’t really know what to expect.

To enter the bus station all bags are place inside a machine that looks like an x-ray machine. But I’m not sure what it actually was. I didn’t even see anyone looking at a monitor. After it passed through the machine, they stuck an “inspected” sticker on it. Now comes the hard part, try to get to our destination. All the destinations are written in Chinese and will thus be incipherable to anyone who doesn’t know how to read. It is also quite unlikely that they know how to speak English here. I didn’t even try anymore.
