Only 2km long but winding and dangerous, this is the slope on Highway 48 that makes all sleeper buses 'give up'

Tien Dong • DNUM_BBZAHZCACF 13:16

Bu Bai Slope (also known as Pu Pai) is one of the longest slopes on National Highway 48 connecting National Highway 1A to the northwestern communes of Nghe An. However, because this slope is long, narrow, and dangerous, traffic through here becomes difficult. This is also one of the reasons why the authorities have not been able to grant a license for sleeper buses to the northwestern communes of Nghe An.

To the east of Bu Bai slope is now Quy Chau commune (merged from the communes: Chau Hanh, Chau Hoi, Chau Nga and Tan Lac town). On sunny days, standing from the top of the slope, you can see the center of the old Quy Chau district. Photo: Tien Dong

Bu Bai Slope lies across the Bu Bai mountain range (locals call it Pu Pai). Although this slope is not high, it is long and narrow, with many short bends, making traffic through here difficult. Photo: Tien Dong

The most special thing about this slope is that the top of the slope is located at Km 100 of National Highway 48 connecting National Highway 1A (Yen Ly intersection) to Thong Thu Border Gate (Thong Thu commune). Photo: Tien Dong
Theo Địa chí huyện Quỳ Châu,
According to the old Quy Chau District Geographical Record, Km100 is located right in the middle of Bu Bai mountain peak, dividing Bu Bai slope into 2 terrain lines: Upper Bu Bai and Lower Bu Bai. The upper Bu Bai limestone mountain ranges are located in the communes of Chau Thang, Chau Tien, Chau Binh and Chau Thuan (now Chau Tien commune); while the lower Bu Bai limestone mountain ranges connect the communes of Chau Hanh, Chau Hoi, Chau Nga (now Quy Chau commune) and border the Nhu Xuan area (Thanh Hoa).

Because this slope is long, small, narrow and National Highway 48 does not meet standards, sleeper buses cannot pass through here to go to the northwestern communes of Nghe An (according to regulations, double-decker sleeper buses are not allowed to operate on grade IV and grade V mountainous roads).

Bu Bai Slope running through Bu Bai Mountain is not only a traffic structure, but also has cultural and historical value. According to our research, in 1973, 1975, 1977, Vietnamese archaeologists and some foreign experts conducted investigations and collected traces of paleontology and ancient people in more than 40 caves in both upper and lower Bu Bai, of which, some caves have been officially excavated. In the photo, Hieu River meanders and weaves through the top of Bu Bai Mountain. Photo: Tien Dong
