The bus had 27 passengers on board at the time of the crash.
It is thought the bus failed to take a "moderate to easy" bend and flipped onto the driver's side. The driver was not seriously injured.
One of the passengers told website SkyKiwi she didn't believe such an accident should happen.
The woman, known as Li Yang told SkyKiwi she was sitting in the fourth row of the bus when the bus rolled.
She said the tour guide was collecting money from a recent visit to an attraction when the accident happened.
Yang said she felt the bus sway a few times before hitting the road.
Another passenger, known only as Wang, told SkyKiwi many of the passengers were trapped in the bus after the crash.
"A lot of seriously injured people were crushed. I tried to pull them, the injured people shouted not to pull them."
Police are still investigating what caused the crash, and have asked anyone who witnessed it or the bus before the incident to call (07) 349 9560.
