Most of the buses from the Long Distance Bus Stations will be regular or express buses, which take the expressways, cost from 200-600 RMB per trip, have comfy seats, and most rides don't take more than 6-12 hours, but sleeper buses are also available.

A sleeper bus, with bunk beds in rows, average about 100 RMB per trip, but many go really slowly up hills, avoid expressways, stop at every city or town, provide "meals" which you have to pay extra for, take the potholed National Highways to save money, and a bus ride can take up to 24 hours.

The average speed is only 40 km/hr on the moderately fast sleeper buses, and the range could be from 25 to 60 km/hr.

It may be a good authentic taste of how less wealthy Chinese people travel.
