Yangshuo Hostels - Comments and Reviews

Yangshou was probably one of my favourite parts of this trip so far. It's a small city - only about 350,000 people live there, so it has a "small town" feel to it. I hate to admit it, but it was also the most touristy spot in that I visited in China so I feel like I shouldn't really like it, but I did!

First off all the scenery is absolu...

WEEK SIX PLUS

Monday October, 12th: Worked on sorting out stuff at the apartment. I have pictures, vases and stuff everywhere. We have made back almost half the money from the investment and it does not look like we have sold anything. When the "Attic" tenants move out I will move it all into there. It is a huge room. Today I have...

Harro! Having travelled from Hong Kong to Guangzhou- the evening we wrote our blog we headed out on to the river bank where we had a little game of air hockey in the amusement park and then went to a restaurant, with fish tanks (all sorts of fish in) outside. All the menus were in Chinese and no one spoke English - so we thought great lets go in...

/30/08 to 3/31/08: Took off from San Francisco at 1:23am on the 30th. I was able to move my sit. They had me switched to the back of the plane but then I was able to move to the emergency aisle. That was great, lots of legroom. Was able to get a little sleep. Arrived in Hong Kong at 6:20am. I talked to one of the cabin assistants and she told me...

Ormai sono alla mia ultima sera a Yangshuo, e stato bello stare qui, ma e arrivato il momento di spostarsi, domani tornero a Guilin e cerchero di ricevere un prolungamento per il visto cinese. Al posto di andare a Hong Kong, abbiamo deciso di andare ad Hainan con gli altri ragazzi inglesi conosciuti qui. E un isola al sud della cina, considerata...

The surrounds of Yangshuou are very much similar to Halong Bay, Vietnam, but on land rather than on islands. I'm very much loving Yangshuou... a beautiful holiday retreat in the southern regions of China. There is a lot to do here, including a river cruise that we did today. It was like a bit of de ja vu... for the river cruise was very similar ...

We couldnt believe it, we hadnt even gone through Chinese customs and already we had somebody rudely push in front of us at the X-ray machine. Chinese people pushing in front in queues is another frustrating aspect of travel in China, but should we ever attempt it we are met with dirty looks. I had to use the loo before reboarding the bus and ye...
