Nature of The Road

The road is 40 feet wide and

has a surface dressing of finely crushed stone which makes the road quite serviceable even in the rainy season. Besides a number of bridges with level spans there are" 58 arched bridges; 46 single arch, nine double arch, and one triple arch, and in addition there are 538 stone culverts for drain- ing purposes. The bridges vary in width from eighteen to 24 feet according to the requirements at the bridge is the place where built the minimum, width being eighteen feet. "These bridges are practically all made of stone rëin- forced with steel girders and laid in cement. Each bridge has en- graved upon it the name of the contractor, the date of building, and the cast of erection.

Buses make a daily run from Kingyuan to Luchal on the Kwangsi border, and return over the same route the following day. As a rule buses reach Hochih about ten am. Here a short stop is made to take on passengers and
