2 Answers
G72 Expressway runs from Quanzhou to Nanning, abbreviated as Quannan Expressway, with the national expressway network code G72. The Quannan Expressway is the 15th east-west horizontal line in the 7918 Expressway Network. It passes through Sanming City in Fujian Province, Ganzhou City, Ji'an City, and Pingxiang City in Jiangxi Province, Zhuzhou City, Hengyang City, and Yongzhou City in Hunan Province, as well as Guilin City, Liuzhou City, and Laibin City in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, covering a total distance of 1,635 kilometers. The Quannan Expressway is an important part of the national trunk line from Quanzhou to Nanning, connecting with the Shicheng to Ji'an Expressway in Jiangxi Province, with a main line length of 123.5 kilometers.
As a long-haul driver, I frequently travel back and forth on the G72 Expressway. This road starts from Quanzhou, Fujian, and ends in Nanning, Guangxi, covering a total distance of over 1,600 kilometers. While driving, I pay special attention to changes in road conditions because it passes through four provinces and regions: Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangxi, making the road conditions more complex, especially in the mountainous sections of Hunan, where fog is common. Starting from Quanzhou, I take one or two breaks at service areas along the way, and by the time I reach Nanning, it’s already been more than two days of driving. The scenery along the route is quite beautiful, such as the karst landscapes in Guilin, which are uplifting. When driving at night, I’m extra cautious, making sure the headlights and tires are in good condition. This road is crucial for freight transport, as it saves time when hauling goods. In short, my experience driving from Quanzhou to Nanning has taught me that safe driving always comes first—don’t rush, enjoy the journey.
