Southern China on the Heavenly Express
... being late - China is amazing and fast to travel in these days, even in remote areas and from smaller cities like Nanning. Apart from language difficulties, I reckon this will be a great place to independently tour in coming years and will only improve ...

Nanning and China Train Journeys
Nanning was a fairly bland looking town so I thought that I would write a bit about Chinese train journeys. As this was the main method I used to get around, certainly had a few experiences. Firstly, the trains in China are really good. On time, ...

Flying visit to Nanning
