Crowne Plaza Hotel Zhanjiang

... cool. It is almost time for the harvest so the terraces are golden.<br><br>We walked from one village to another. It took us about seven hours of climbing but it was well worth it. The sights were breathtaking. If you get a chance you should visit here.

... to the airport previously!!<br>First stop was a restaurant for lunch and Irene, Margret's daughter joined us. By this time we were flagging a little, particularly as it is so hot and humid!! We then went to henry's home , which is magnificent, where we were installed in the middle floor suite for our stay. We managed a brief rest before it was time to go out and about. First stop was Henry and Susan's business where we explored the ...

... flight very much. Arriving at Shenzhen airport I took the coach to Wanchai, via the border controls. The ride was very nice in the air conditioned coach, and I arrived within 100m of my hotel.<br><br>The hotel was very posh and nice, a great break from the hostels I had been staying in, and I had a twin room, even though it was just me, so loads of space and a TV :)<br><br>I'll put the rest of the HK stuff in the HK stories<br>

... just treat the city as a means to get to Sanya in the south of the island which is where I was headed for the last leg of my journey. No. 19 buses were nowhere to be found for the return trip (must have been hanging out at the gas station again). Someone assured me that the No.21 went straight to the airport with no need to connect to the airport bus. Sounded simpler &amp; cheaper so I was in. The bus driver dropped me &amp; some others off. I could see no airport in sight but he ...

... the finish on good Chinese expressways. We will have a brief celebration at the finish line and move to our hotel and a farewell dinner. We are 29 trucks with 24 participant trucks and 5 control trucks . We lost 2 participants trucks back down the track do to mechanical problems and they were shipped home. Everyone will finish however after ...

... yhteensa 4 tuntia. Olis ollu helponpaa laittaa ihmisia junasta laivaan. Laivalla menna yli ja sitten vaihtaa toisella puolella taas junaa. Olisi ollut paljon nopeampaa. Junassa oli Kiinalais porukka joka osasi ihan muutaman sanan Englantia. Yksi heista osasi jotenkin kirjottaa englantia. He tulivat aamulla juttelemaan minun kanssani. Minulla oli Suomi Kiina sana kirja. Ja sen ja paperin kanssa yritimme kommunikoida. Oli siina valilla pokassa pitelemista ku ...

... on the intertnet,and when I express it her answer is "Me too". We are sitting down for a meeting in a corner of the hall. The boss of the company is greeting us welcome. Her name is Ms Long. She is giving me the surprise, which is an invitation for me to write articles and also publish pictures from my trips around Hainan. The have just started the work with a new homepage. I am very honoured and glad for the invitation and will do my very best to ...

... boneless duck dish that we had noticed on the menu the day before, but the waiter tried to steer us away from this to a steamed chicken which was their specialty. We compromised and had half of each. No problem. In China, if you want half a dish you pay half the price. The chicken was indeed very good, It's probably all free range here, certainly tastier than the chicken back home. We ordered a different eggplant dish, tempting as it was ...

... as the Chinese opera was to us. At the end of each act, the flowers were quickly returned to the flower-seller, to be sold again during the next performance. Presumably this is how the performers get paid for their work. The show was still in full swing when we decided to call it a night. We heard that a performance takes place every night except when the weather is too cold or wet. For some reason, Tuesday was recommended as the best night to come. Raymond's Travel Page
