Fu Li Hotel Chongqing

... at my repeated verbal astonishment. It's a shame I didn't have time to explore the city. I definitely hope to return to Hangzhou before I leave China.

We arrived at the train station without problems and even had time for a last meal before boarding the 30 hour train ride halfway across China to the city I'd never heard of. After the meal we entered the station and found the correct waiting gate. Luckily, I was traveling with friends that spoke some ...

... a bit before trying to explain to a taxi driver that we wanted to be taken to the northern ropeway (cablecar). We ended up being taken to the southern ropeway instead, as it seems that no one even knows there is a northern ropeway (an d maybe there isn’t anymore, as the Lonely Planet guide we use is hopelessly out of date, despite being the most recent Chinese issue). We had intended to walk there eventually, anyway, so we took the cablecar across the river and walked down to the ...

... taller then then average man... Not sure if thats a chinese man or a western man but its still pretty freaking tall.

We then headed back to the bus station and headed for Mt Emei, a famous Buddist mountain. We stayed in the Teddy Bear hotel which was quite nice and wandered around for a bit before heading to bed.

... we got there in the end and arrived in a large square with the museum at one end and a large building called, The Hall for the People at the other. This was the Peoples Square and very nice it was too. I went into the museum which was housed in a nice modern building over 4 floors and was the best one so far, by far, on the trip. It featured a huge amount of exhibits from the city and surrounding areas past along with a large section on how the Three Gorges Dam was ...

We took an overnight 14 hour sleeper train to reach Chongqing. Much more comfy than the Indian sleeper trains! We booked this portion of the trip through an agency so we had an organised pick up and drop off which made life a lot easier! (Miming skills not working quite so well after 14hours on a train!) The plan was to do a 4 day cruise on the Yangtzi river along the Three Gorges. I know a cruise sounds ...

... downed my bottle of water and rushed to a McD's outlet and quickly ordered a raspberry flavoured vanilla cone. Soothing!! &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp; &n bsp; The funny thing about the chicken innards is that it brought back memories of my childhood. Whenever we had chicken Mom would ...

... never seen or heard so much spitting in my life which continued all day until late at night. The ship would sail all night and then pull into port at 4am or so and announce itself by blowing the horn very loudly several times. Peaceful it was not. The scenery itself was sensational. The Three Gorges, the stretch of the river for which the journey is famous, were spread out throughout the second day and were lovely. Even more special were the Lesser Three ...

... band was female and also doubled up (as we were to learn the next morning) as the waiting staff in the restaurant. Before you ask, our waitress, Lily, played the tenor sax. When we'd booked the cruise we hadn't had any choice as to which boat we would be taking because ours was the only one going as far as Wuhan on the days we wanted (the rest stopped at Yichang). However, the boat had looked quite modern in the pictures and was billed as an "elegant, state-of ...
