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

sob. 2026-06-20 12:55 · 90 min oczekiwania · 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

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

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

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.

wt. 2026-06-16 12:36 · 70 min oczekiwania · 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

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

pon. 2026-06-15 16:30 · 30 min oczekiwania · 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.

pon. 2026-06-15 14:00 · 25 min oczekiwania · 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

pon. 2026-06-15 13:10 · 70 min oczekiwania · 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

pt. 2026-06-12 17:47 · 2 min oczekiwania · 261 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

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

czw. 2026-06-04 16:41 · 5 min oczekiwania · 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.

czw. 2026-06-04 14:15 · 90 min oczekiwania · 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

wt. 2026-06-02 23:06 · 1 min oczekiwania · 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

wt. 2026-06-02 18:00 · 30 min oczekiwania · 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

wt. 2026-06-02 17:10 · 210 min oczekiwania ⭐⭐

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

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.

pon. 2025-11-17 13:00 · 3 min oczekiwania · 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.

pon. 2025-11-17 12:40 · 30 min oczekiwania · 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

sob. 2025-11-15 14:10 · 5 min oczekiwania · 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.

sob. 2025-11-15 13:45 · 10 min oczekiwania · 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).

sob. 2025-11-15 13:30 · 40 min oczekiwania ⭐⭐

45.4094, 28.0150

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

pt. 2025-11-14 13:00 · 15 min oczekiwania · 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.

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.

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

czw. 2025-11-06 17:40 · 6 min oczekiwania · 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)

czw. 2025-11-06 14:45 · 54 min oczekiwania · 144 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐

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

wt. 2025-11-04 14:30 · 40 min oczekiwania · 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

44.9946, 20.2081

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

pt. 2025-10-17 12:20 · 40 min oczekiwania · 50 km ⭐⭐⭐⭐

48.3924, 21.1641
