20.4699, 106.3187

Great place towards Nam Dinh or Ninh Binh, we got a ride all the way to Tam Coc with fishermen delivering fish in Nam Dinh before going back north

Immediately got a ride to Hanoi with a sleeper bus after making it clear I couldn’t pay for the ride.

土 2026-06-20 13:47 · 24分待ち · 134 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

23.3374, 103.4356

Just stood at the highway entrance with a 河口 sign and got a ride relatively quickly. Mengzi railway station isn’t too far if you fail to get a ride and need to get out of China asap

土 2026-06-20 12:55 · 90分待ち · 58 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐

23.7300, 103.2839

Not that much traffic, perhaps because it was a Saturday. Probably worth getting dropped off in Mengzi if going to the border at Hekou

土 2026-06-20 10:04 · 120分待ち · 86 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐

24.3383, 103.4035

You can walk onto the station from the northern bridge, there’s a hole in the fence that leads you to the highway right before the station. Many cars are going west, took me a while to get south

24.4318, 103.3781

Waited for nearly three hours in the wet trying to go south after being dropped off here, I ended up booking the hostel in town and tried to call a taxi, but when that didn’t work some bikers started talking to me and took me there

金 2026-06-19 14:20 · 30分待ち · 58 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

24.8278, 103.2774

Hitching with a friend, took us half an hour to get a ride south by standing at the exit

金 2026-06-19 11:19 · 11分待ち · 71 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

25.0174, 102.7560

Great spot to get out of Kunming going east, lots of traffic and not fenced off. We got a ride to Shilin gas station by a guy going to Luxi

25.5750, 100.2247

火 2026-06-16 14:30 · 40分待ち · 245 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

26.5796, 101.8679

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.

火 2026-06-16 12:36 · 70分待ち · 56 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐

26.9103, 102.1199

Good but most cars seem to be going north towards Xichang. A Panzhihua sign might help get you further south towards Yunnan

火 2026-06-16 10:40 · 30分待ち · 68 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

27.3922, 102.2180

As of June 2026 the fence is open on the north-western side, if you need to get out for the night or want to walk onto the station

月 2026-06-15 16:30 · 30分待ち · 342 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

29.7864, 102.8642

Best for going north but south will work, ideally have the character 南 on your side if that’s where you’re going.

月 2026-06-15 14:00 · 25分待ち · 151 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

30.4024, 103.8955

Good gas station before the fork between Meishan/Leshan and Ya’an, seemingly more traffic to the formers but I got a ride fairly quickly after I added the mention 雅安 (Yǎ’ān) to my sign. There’s also a toll gate here so you could probably ask them if you can walk onto the gas station or just wait at the booth

月 2026-06-15 13:10 · 70分待ち · 21 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐

30.5307, 103.9845

Somewhat awkward to stand there because it’s huge and traffic is coming from three different directions, and there’s a truck weighing thing on the far side so it might create some congestion. I waited between that platform and the lanes regular cars use. Good for anything south-west of Chengdu

金 2026-06-12 17:47 · 2分待ち · 261 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

29.6550, 105.7303

Immediately got a ride from standing at the exit with a 成都 (Chengdu) sign

金 2026-06-12 17:02 · 26分待ち · 71 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

29.6421, 106.3164

Best spot I could find to go west towards Chengdu, cars are slow since they’re turning and traffic is surprisingly high. Got a ride to Dazu gas station with guys going to Zigong

月 2026-06-08 11:36 · 10分待ち · 644 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

33.6302, 109.1584

Got a ride to Chongqing in 10 minutes by some very friendly guys, one of whom spoke some English!

月 2026-06-08 10:00 · 40分待ち · 82 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

34.2064, 108.9967

Good spot to get on the G65 towards Chongqing, initially has a sign saying 重庆 (Chongqing) but I switched to 南 (south) and it worked nicely

木 2026-06-04 16:41 · 5分待ち · 660 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

31.9359, 114.3213

Made a sign saying G40 because I thought my chances to go west were pretty bad and the first gas station going east is crossable but a couple stopped for me and they were going all the way to Weinan right next to Xi’an, my destination.

木 2026-06-04 14:15 · 90分待ち · 184 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

30.6306, 114.0529

Very good spot for any direction north, south or west of Wuhan, just before the toll booth. Cars aren’t going too fast and there’s plenty of space to stop

火 2026-06-02 23:06 · 1分待ち · 53 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

30.2644, 114.1687

Didn’t expect anything at 11pm but gave it a shot anyway, lots of lighting at the exit so my sign was visible and the driver took me off the highway into urban Wuhan

火 2026-06-02 18:00 · 30分待ち · 308 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

28.2656, 113.0677

Had a sign for Wuhan (武汉), a truck driver going all the way to Henan stopped for me and gave me a ride to the last gas station before Wuhan, dinner, and recorded me saying “China number one” for his douyin

火 2026-06-02 17:10 · 210分待ち ⭐⭐

28.2707, 113.0725

Was trying to get rides either north towards Wuhan or to the gas station right after the toll booth (there is a bridge to the other side). For some reason very few stopped, even though it was quite busy, and unfortunately the only guy who stopped before I got my ride was going to Xiangxi which isn’t of any use to me

月 2025-11-17 18:05 · 10分待ち · 306 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

43.8147, 25.9285

Despite it being dark and me standing with a sign I got picked up all the way to Sofia quickly. The lights are good enough for nighttime hitchhiking, otherwise there’s always the gas station.

月 2025-11-17 13:00 · 3分待ち · 38 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

44.1859, 26.0023

Lots of space to pull over, definitely possible to get a ride directly to Bulgaria as many cars have Bulgarian plates. With my BG sign I got taken to Giurgiu, the driver offered to take me to the bridge toll booth but I got off at the Kaufland because I needed food instead.

月 2025-11-17 12:40 · 30分待ち · 26 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐

44.3607, 26.0868

I suggest waiting at the bus stop after the roundabout as cars are slower. Took me a bit because the first car wanted money but I got a ride out of Bucharest towards Giurgiu

土 2025-11-15 14:10 · 5分待ち · 223 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

45.3034, 27.9353

Got dropped there by my last driver which wasn’t ideal but the shoulder was big enough for cars to stop. Got a ride in a Moldova registered Porsche all the way to Bucharest, probably gained a whole hour by the outrageous speeds he was going on the national road.

土 2025-11-15 13:45 · 10分待ち · 17 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

45.4109, 28.0148

Things got much better after I moved here from the spot lower down. I suggest having a sign to Brăila, as people won’t pick you up to help you unless they’re going the entire way (my driver was confused at first where I was going and I had to shout Brăila for him to stop).

土 2025-11-15 13:30 · 40分待ち ⭐⭐

45.4094, 28.0150

Not very good as there’s no space to stop. Only had a bus stopping that wanted me to pay.

45.4744, 28.2021

You can’t cross the border on foot but the guard was chill with me hitchhiking right before his post, even suggested I do so

金 2025-11-14 14:40 · 45分待ち · 200 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

46.6554, 29.3920

Took me some time because I had a sign saying Comrat but eventually I got a ride all the way to the Romanian border at Giurgiulești.

金 2025-11-14 13:00 · 15分待ち · 19 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

46.7803, 29.4761

Hitchhiked right after the Moldovan side of the border crossing which the guards didn’t have any issue with. I had a sign saying Comrat, eventually I was taken to Căușeni. I recommend using a sign saying Căușeni or just thumbing, as cars don’t really stop unless going all the way to your destination.

木 2025-11-13 12:15 · 10分待ち · 61 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

46.9740, 28.8736

47.1785, 27.5850

Going to Chișinău with an MD sign, the first guys that stopped didn’t want to take me with my french passport but then I got a ride directly to Chișinău

月 2025-11-10 14:35 · 2分待ち · 115 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

46.9400, 26.4009

Nice runoff and side road for cars to stop, best spot for Iaşi in my opinion

月 2025-11-10 11:15 · 60分待ち · 74 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐

46.7270, 25.6326

Might take some time to get a ride across the Carpathians to Piatra Neamț but the views are really worth it.

月 2025-11-10 09:12 · 1分待ち · 49 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

46.3902, 25.7971

Immediately got a ride to Gyergyó/Gheorgheni by a friendly Székely lady despite the little runoff

46.3650, 25.7900

Had a Gyergyó sign but a friendly Székely guy offered to take me to the next roundabout a bit further out

木 2025-11-06 17:40 · 6分待ち · 30 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

45.6713, 25.6415

Hitchhiked from here because the spot further up the road didn’t feel safe especially at night. Got a ride to Sepsiszentgyörgy/Sfântu Gheorghe quickly despite the darkness (it’s well lit up)

木 2025-11-06 14:45 · 54分待ち · 144 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐

45.7744, 24.1745

Went here because the roundabout was being used by local hitchhikers. Took quite a while for some reason but a polish guy on a roadtrip through Romania picked me up for Brașov/Brassó

木 2025-11-06 11:45 · 30分待ち · 125 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

45.9023, 22.8850

Big runoff for cars to pull over, it’s the best way to get to the highway from Deva so it works even if going east. I got a ride to Sibiu/Nagyszeben

水 2025-11-05 16:20 · 15分待ち · 15 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

45.7760, 22.9140

水 2025-11-05 13:40 · 15分待ち · 17 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

45.8672, 22.9223

To Hunedoara/Vajdahunyad, cars can easily pull over before the gas station. Some guy going to Petroșani made a small detour for me

火 2025-11-04 14:30 · 40分待ち · 68 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐

46.0516, 23.5711

Doesn’t feel great but it’s really the only way to catch the highway going south, not too much traffic so cars do stop. Probably easier for Sibiu than Deva

月 2025-11-03 15:20 · 12分待ち · 71 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

46.5629, 23.7752

Lots of space to pull over, great spot for Alba Iulia and probably further as well

月 2025-11-03 15:00 · 40分待ち ⭐

46.5651, 23.7793

Cars don’t have time to see you and not really any space to stop, better to walk 5 minutes to after the bridge

46.7510, 23.5946

Pretty good spot, got a ride to Torda by a family going to Târgu Mureș/Marosvásárhely

Got dropped off there on my way to Oradea, decided to keep hitchhiking into the city and I was picked up pretty much immediately. Huge runoff so cars can stop easily

木 2025-10-30 14:35 · 16分待ち · 123 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐

46.1915, 21.3305

Cars are going a bit fast but they have to slow down for the traffic lights anyway, good for going north in direction Oradea

木 2025-10-30 10:45 · 1分待ち · 57 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

45.7842, 21.2191

Got an incredible ride with an old super nice Romanian guy. Once we arrived in Arad he took me to the town hall for a tour, then he showed me around the city, brought me home for lunch and gave me 200 lei

45.1347, 21.2870

火 2025-10-28 13:40 · 60分待ち · 68 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐

44.8830, 20.6624

Bit long but I guess that’s what you get when thumbing in Serbia, got a ride to Vršac after an hour

金 2025-10-24 15:30 · 70分待ち · 24 km ⭐⭐⭐

44.9946, 20.2081

Probably better to ask but I stood with a sign at the exit. One hour without success, then I took a break at the McDonald’s and a guy picked me up right after to Belgrade, where public transport is free

金 2025-10-24 13:45 · 40分待ち · 38 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐

45.2407, 20.0348

Took a bit of time but eventually you’ll find a ride going towards either Belgrade or Novi Sad.

47.8411, 20.7422

Quickly got picked up all the way to Budapest

金 2025-10-17 15:00 · 20分待ち · 38 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐

48.1067, 20.8418

In direction Budapest it’s probably better than any bus stop around because you get all the traffic. There are two lanes so cars can stop kinda safely

金 2025-10-17 12:20 · 40分待ち · 50 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐

48.3924, 21.1641

Not the best but you’ll get picked up eventually, an Encs sign probably works better than a Miskolc one

48.6791, 21.2685

Got taken across the border very quickly

月 2025-10-13 14:20 · 30分待ち ⭐⭐⭐

50.0418, 20.8884

Avoid this gas station if you’re not going to Kraków, not good for Nowy Sącz.

木 2025-10-09 09:50 · 120分待ち · 24 km ⭐⭐⭐

53.1445, 23.0833

Probably the best place to get out of Białystok in direction Warsaw. For some reason no one picked me up for an hour and a half, I gave up for the night then came back in the morning and got a ride to a gas station in 20 minutes

水 2025-10-08 19:00 ⭐

53.1494, 23.0556

Not possible anymore and quite dangerous

水 2025-10-08 13:15 · 4分待ち · 4 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

52.9169, 23.4108

Better not to have a sign, it’s very likely the first car will take you to Trześcianka and you can go further from there. Started with a sign but people don’t wanna take you if you’re going too far

水 2025-10-08 11:00 · 0分待ち · 4 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Not too much traffic and cars coming from the main road are going quite fast, try to stand somewhere where road signs won’t hide you from them. Not ideal, but basically all traffic to eastern Slovakia from this part of Poland goes through here. Ideally avoid getting dropped here and get a direct ride to Slovakia from further north.

Nobody stops there, I saw maybe four cars in total in half an hour. Walking there is possible, but it involves a lot of walking across fields and you have to jump about 2.5m from the bridge that passes over the highway.
