Yep, China is quite a hard place to be a tourist.
After failing to get a train ticket we had a 12 hour bus ride once, going to Beijing. The toilet filled the whole bus with stench, only masked a little by the cigarette smoke from the chain-smokers. No opening windows. No reclining seat. Karaoke videos at full volume. Dark outside so nothing to look at yet absolutely no chance of sleep. In the end we were dropped off beside the highway at 5 AM, somewhere in the city.
Worst bus ride of my life. Purgatory.
