I ever took a bus from Guangzhou to Swatow where the bus passed through quite mountainous, bumpy and rough terrain. Lucky the journey was done during daylight hours leaving Guangzhou around 0600 hrs and arriving Swatow around 2000 hours. Again, I will never do such stunt again......

Now it is very different. 

They have completed many tunnels and new highways. Very smooth ride and fast also.
