Guilin Sovereign Hotel Yangshuo

... public allowed!!!



We got back to the hostel & had a game of pool ( Nath won again) & had some lunch. We were going to Yangshuo for 3 nights & decided to pack what we needed in our small backpacks & leave our large ones here till we came back to catch the train on Wednesday night. That done we set out to the bus station up the road. The buses go every 30 minutes for the ...

... and er, flat, air dried, dead rat. It was completely skinned and the colour of prosciutto (and almost as thin). Before we entered the raw meat section, our teacher checked in with the group. "OK. Who wants to see dog?" My stomach turned. Fortunately nary a person in the group wanted to see a poor pooch dissected and hung up on meat hooks for sale. I was spared this and made no effort to look for it either. We made our way back from the markets and ...

... put it back up when we got hot. It didn't queit work out as we had planned though as when we asked for it back up he said no... Fair enough, end of that conv**sation. We did get many stares from oth** fellow raft**s, as we w**e the only ones with our umbrella down. The strangest part of the journey was ev**y so often th**e would be raft that sold food and drinks, and some even had fridges, cook**s and tables & chairs. We got to end 1 1/2 hours lat** a little burnt but it was ...

... have been easy for me to once again get lost. There were other early risers, but they were beginning another day of what and American would think of as boring. Very little stimulation for the villagers, but they seemed to enjoy socializing with each other, and accepting whatever happiness their gods and demons granted them.

As I turned up one narrow road, I found a man on a corner conducting his own meat market. He had what I assumed to be pork laying out on ...

... and family were awesome. They gave us tea as soon as we got to her mom's store and then we left to go eat "over the bride noodles" which is a bowl of hot noodles and a plate of stuff that you add to the bowl. There is a raw egg, some spam looking stuff, raw pork, octopus, and other things you throw in the boiling noddle soup and it cooks it for you. We also had herb infused lamb on a stick that was really good. Rose and her friends paid for everything; food, bus rides ...

Wir wollten ab** auf jeden Fall noch die Bootsfahrt auf dem Li Riv** machen, weil dass ein** d** Hoehepunkte ...

... to have a school/hotel. The owners were one of the government departments and it is not finished and they will rent it cheap if someone finished it. We took a walk to see what they had. It was on a street parallel to West Street and right up against Green Lotus Hill. Not real easy to get to at this time. You had to take one of the alleys off West Street to get there. It was really big. Only 4 floors but had 7 large rooms ...

... so we didn't bother going out again.

Food at out Moon Hill resort was very nice and much better than the restaurants in West street that we had tried. Thanks so much to Wei Wei and her family they were great. Anyone travelling in the area should check out the Moon Hill Hotel ( highly recommended ) Wei Wei makes you feel like part of her family and the village itself it very quaint and friendly.

Everyone knows everyone and many locals speak english in the area.

... and then walk around looking at the various formations. The trip was made by two things. Firstly was the tour guide who was moaning about the Chinese government. NOt because he was poor or had to work in poor conditions but because he could not watch porn on the internet. He also started saying that us westeners were taking the chinese women away from him as we had western sex bodies ...
