“Hostel OK, Beds very hard - like concrete”

The hostel was clean, but old. We didnt use the facilities very much. The bed was like concrete and unless yr accustomed to such a rock hard bed I suggest you try somewhere else.
We did ask the reception what we could do with 4 teenagers in their city, figuring they should be able to point us in the direction of some activities. Unfortunately all they could do was suggest viewing some seagulls at the park. Since we come from New Zealand seagulls are not exactly a novelty for us.

Little did I know that I had my longest travel day ahead of me. After a short motorbike ride from the Lao Cai bus station, I moved through first the …

Après un petit déjeuner plutôt copieux nous retrouvons notre guide Mélodie pour nous rendre sur le site de forêt de pierres à 9h15. Après 2h de route nous arrivons à la Forêt de Pierres ( plus de touristes chinois que de pierres!). Nous faisons une belle ballade entre pics rocheux sur d'étroits chemins, en suivant notre petite …
