Big rest area (including tank display and kart). We waited around 60min near the restaurant area, after that we moved to the onramp after the big (there are two) gas station. Not even 5min of waiting a guy with nice merc pulled up and took us to Dali. He invited us for lunch (taste was very mid). I think it's a great spot and could be faster than the tollstation (but we took a cap for around 50rmb to reach there).―GermanyToIndia

Standing at the gate with a 昆明/Kunming sign, we got a direct ride in 20 minutes by a guy going all the way to Guiyang―Arphile

The Dali sign payed off! It’s hot and most cars seemingly aren’t going further than Panzhihua, but you will get a ride into Yunnan eventually.―Arphile

After 3,5 hours got only a 10km ride. After trying to hitch from the other spot we surrendered. If you plan to hitch in China anywhere else then the Tibetan areas (where locals will pick you up in no time) your best best will be truckers―CarlitosPL

The toll gate is located close to the bus station and is a good spot going to Kunming―Anonymous

Quite a nice spot. Cars and trucks here seem to be heading further. Watch out as some cars go quite fast and do very dumb overtakes...―Erkules

OK spot, lots of cars, they can pull over. But you're still in a populated area and rides might not get y0u too far. Heads up that the cars might be pulling over quite a bit behind you as they need to switch lanes to slow down.Ended up at a homecoming party with local Bai people :))
