Chinglish
Dick and I have some times difficulties
in understanding the signs that the Chinese put together. To us it
often looks a language of its own. Which I call Chinglish. I give a
few examples; when we arrived at our hotel in Huangshan there was a
sign telling the driver to park at the “stereoscoping parking lot”.

Anhui by Bus
... in Hangzhou.)
The cloud layer had also lifted during the night to reveal the tops of the mountains ringing the valley we were in. They were much higher than I had imagined the day before.
We wandered a bit of the town before breakfast, exploring a small river where we watched ducks feeding, and an old woman washing clothes. Breakfast was good, especially the local pickled vegetables. We asked the cook if we could acquire some, and she proudly brought ...
Hiking in China's Bamboo Mountains

The mountain walk we were doing comes in three parts, up the west, across & up and then down the east. For the up part and the down par, you can use a cable car if you want (by the way, this was another rip off by Geckos - I will explain in my summary at the end of the tour). Me, Lorna, Jilly & Claire had ...
