Lost in Transit in China !
So we left the fun, beers, tasty noodle shop and the Engligh speaking Yangshuo, our hostel advised us to get a bus (3 hours) to Lizhou then when we get to the station we can get a sleeper train to Zhangjiajie. So off we went ,bus was at 11am so ...
A Whole Day on a Train
... I didn't have a clue but I'm pretty sure it's further than the 1500km that this journey would take - a small hop on terms of China as a whole. I slept pretty well though even with the lower bunk of 3 (everyone sits on the bottom bunk during the day) ...
Ridin' Along On My (Girl's) Pushbike Honey..
Hello from our second stop in China, Yangshou. Described as a legendary backpacker hangout we couldn't help but stop in and check this place out. Probably a bit soft of us given we only have a week in China and will only take in 3 places of interest ...
Trainspotting
... washing was dry again, I stopped for some more Chinese pizza stuff (dabing perhaps it is called?) before getting the bus to Liuzhou. Having tired of walking in the wrong direction out of bus stations I jumped on the back of a motorbike taxi to get to ...
Almost Home
... grabbed one and enjoyed the scenery as we made our way down the Li River - the backdrop for all of the paintings of China. It was beautiful! We even stopped off to get our picture taken two cormorant birds on a pole. The Rainy Bikeride The next ...
Goodbye Guilin and more train tales.
... 14hrs to Kunming [270rmb/£27]. For the first 4 hours we’d be sat together on seats and then around 8pm, when we reached Liuzhou, we’d sorted 2 hard sleepers and one seat. So we’d decided to work it in 4 hour shifts; I’d take the ...
Yangshou - Rafting in Paradise
... to us, too! They were super nice and we were more than welcome to help them practice their English. They taught us a lot about China and Yangshuo. Our first day in Yangshou we rented some bikes ($1.40 each) and headed down to a small town of FuLi, about ...
Luxury travel
We had an early start from our beautiful guesthouse to the local bus station, where we would continue our journey to Liuzhou. We were thinking we'd be travelling rough, as we had started using local public buses rather than private minivans, and we ...
Stopover on Christmas Eve
Neljalta junan konduktoori heiluttelee taskulampulla silmiin heratellen meita palauttaakseen lippumme. Kateva kaytanto Kiinan junissa kerataan liput nukkumavaunuissa konduktoorille joka huolehtii herattamisestasi noin ...
Finally some sun in Yangshou
... shorter cuts than we wanted, and arrived at Yangshou 12 hours later. After so long in smoggy, loud and busy cities in China, Yangshou was a superb break. The scenery around it is incredible, and there are loads of things to entertain the days, and ...
Crazy night out at Soho Bar
Well here we are in China, in a city called Liuzhou. It's a largely industrial city with about 1.5 million people living here. It's strange to think that there's about a quarter of New Zealand's population living in a place I've never even heard of and ...
Liuzhou - just a stop over to catch a train
We had a day of travel to Liuzhou. It was about a 4 hour drive to get to the train station. The bus was TINY too. When we got to Liuzhou, we had about 2 hours before our train arrived. So, Terry took us to find some food. The first place he was going ...
Surely you can't ruin Yangshuo?
... comes for the stunning Karst scenery whether you explore it alone or diligently follow your tour guide. It is in my experience of China without parrallel. Words alone can't really do it justice except to say that you exist here and the days drift by and ...
Liuzhou
Today we jumped on a public bus and went to Liuzhou which is a "typical" Chinese city and definitely off the tourist trail!! On the way there we went through the most modern city I have seen, every building (no exaggeration) was less than 10 years old and ...
The Tag Alongs
... Tanya and her cousins took us for a fabulous foot massage one evening after dinner. We also we to see the sights in Liuzhou - considering we've had such raining weather our pictures turned out pretty decent. Tanya has been a huge help. She has ...
Ghangzhou to Beijing
... a bad thing, as we discovered that our hotel had changed it's name and was no longer the Huadong Hotel, but now the East China Hotel. We'd probably have spent most of the afternoon walking up and down the street looking for a non-existant hotel! After ...
Train to Guilin (actually to Liuzhou)
I'm on the train to Guilin now. I got a soft sleeper from Zhangjiajie. Before I get ahead of myself, let me sum up how things ended up going with the tourguide in zjj. At first things weren't so bad. I was ind of happy that I found a place to stay in ...
Motorbike Madness
... old now!). She has lived in China for a few years and is fluent in Mandarin so a perfect fit for our travel to Southern China where very few speak English. We also picked up another passenger, Bruno, a 31-year old Canadian who has been working for Lehman ...
Arriving Yangshou
... middle east in short... She said that she can't understand why don't people in the middle east want peace, because the people in China want peace. I told her it's not very accurate, because not so long time ago China attacked Tibet and conquered it. She ...
To Yangshuo
Arrived by train at 5am. Another 2hr bus ride to Yangshuo. The hotel 'Morning Sun' had kindly prepared the rooms and breakfast before our arrival. I went and freshened up before I went to explore the town. Yangshuo is a tourist / backpackers destination. ...
Surprising Delightful Vison in Liuzhou
... train to Zhangjiajie. Instead of a boring wait in a train station, however, a delightful adventure awaited. The drive into Liuzhou certainly wasn't inspiring - the now familiar mix of old and newer apartment blocks stretched in all directions. We had ...
Ma little Chinese girl
... !!! Another thing is that China is 8 hours ahead and even though it spans a couple of time zones I'm currently stopped off in Liuzhou (situated on the Lui river in central Guangxi) on our way to stay in a Dong Village with some locals then its off ...

Liuzhou
A travel day, from Ning Ming to Liuzhou, via Nanning. About 9 hours travelling on public buses. We headed out to the bus station at about 8am and I wasn't looking forward to the two bus journeys that it was going to take to get us from Ning Ming to ...
Weihnachtszeit, komische Zeit
Ich bin gerade mal vier Tage zurueck in China, es ist bitter kalt( 5*C), ich habe meine richtig warmen Sachen alle von Shanghai aus nach Hause geschickt und fuer viele ist es Zeit nach Hause zu fliegen. Die Stadt in der ich gerade bin ist fast leer und ...
A short stop in Liuzhou
... our travel plans. They were going on to Kunming, which is where this train is heading and I had to get off in a city called Liuzhou and wait around for a couple of hours to catch another train to ZJJ. I didn’t want to just wait in the train station ...
Rice Paddies as far as the eye can see
... quite a lot of the stay with no power and little hot water. There's a huge TV but the only western programme they show in China these days is CCTV 9 which is a sort of Chinese propaganda programme (and English language films) in English. We try one of the ...
