The distance from Chengiu Sian is about 650 miles, which took me five (actually four) days. By {rain and bus Chenglu can be reached from Sian in five days, viz one Gay train to Poochi, and bus in four stages (Hanchung, Kuangyuan, Mien= yang and Chengtu). The bus fare irom Poochi is about $35, but the time, of course, greatly depends on the weather, as the buses do not run in bad weather. Even so, this isa very much quicker and cheaper, it less comfortable, way of getting to Chengtu and Suchuen from any lace in the north, than via Hankow and up the river to Chungking.
