The Golden Bus

The streets of Nanjing, China, may not be paved with gold, but here's the next best thing: a bus covered with 24-karat gold leaf.

The distinctive "Golden Bus", which began rolling on April 25th of 2011, is the centerpiece of a rather expensive promotion by a Nanjing jewelry store... expensive meaning 200,000 yuan (about $30,800). Usually bus promotional ads involving an entire bus cost 1/10th as much.
