China Transport

China is a huge country. We were exposed to so many modes of transport here. I have taken a few of the pictures that illustrate this theme. Of course, the one method of transport which showed us so much more of the country was through walking. We walked through parks, through the downtown areas, in small villages, around the Terra Cotta warriors, and, of course, on the Great Wall. What an experience!!!! We had a great time on this retirement trip. I hope you enjoy the pictures. They are not in any real order.

This is one of the original trams for the Victoria Peak Tramway.

We rode on one of these electric double decker buses. They were very popular with great views.

Not much clearance.

Would not want to drive here. Many special lanes just for transit and lots of pedestrians.

This was our double decker bus. Got to sit up front at the top, eventually.

Vehicles and traffic in Hong Kong.

It is possible to take this tram from one part of Hong Kong to the other. Unfortunately for us, we were there during a typhoon and it was unsafe to use it for the time we were there. We will just have to go back.

The bamboo poles are used in construction for scaffolding.

There are many inter island ferries in Hong Kong harbour.

This is the cruise ship terminal with a Star Cruises ship in port.

The tram coming into the Victoria Peak Station in Hong Kong.

Some of the fishing boats in Hong Kong harbour.

We took a double decker bus up this road to Victoria Peak.

Here are some spare tires headed off for recycling somewhere.

We travelled down some canals in Suzhuo in this little junque.

Someone else's transportation in the small river village.

Sometimes, you just walk to work with your produce. Note all the bicycle traffic here.

Our coach driver parked here and caused a bit of a traffic jam and there was almost a fight between the female driver of the car and our driver. She wanted to take him on.

Junques in the Hong Kong harbour.

If you only have a little bit of merchandise to move, just load it onto the back of your bike and head to the shop.

Waiting in the locks to get through the Three Gorges Dam.


Another cruise ship company's boat. They are called Dragon Boat Cruises.

This was our River Cruise Ship.


When you have a lot of rivers around, your transportation reflects that.

We had a ride on these boats up a tributary of the Yangtze. When we came to rapids and shallow water, the crew got out and pulled the boats against the current upstream

We saw some pretty nice-looking cars on the roads. Always, lots of traffic.

Check out all the different modes of transport here.

Oops! Have to get that tire repaired. Just leave the vehicle here and come back later.

This was our shuttle back and forth to the airport in Bejing when our flight was delayed.

Who needs a transport truck??

Some of the people on our boat tour took this chairlift up to the top of Ghost City.

Light Rail Transit in Chongquing.

Had to take this picture of a jeep at the American Museum in Chongquing.

You can see some of the different river cruise boats lined up to start the Yangtze River Cruise.

Similar to the Tuk-Tuks of Thailand.

We never rode in this three wheel truck. It was parked in a lot by a very untidy hotel we were shuttled to because of a flight delay.

A rickshaw tour of the original area of Beijing.

Bicycles and cars sharing the road.

We had a little boat ride on the lake by the Winter Palace.

You could also rent little boats and paddle boats here.
