... 14/10<br>I took the bus to the Hanging Monaster: it goes around the city to pick passengers until it is full, then it goes 65k.m in 2 hours just to the city near the mnaster, then you need a taxi! If you don't enjoy such things - don't go to this place. The small city is really China, as there are only few foreign tourists there(like Karni &amp; I). The others came in organized tours, with air-conditioned buses, look for an hour in the ...

... gate and up the zig-zagging road to the main parking lot. When we arrived a heated argument broke out as the taxi driver demanded that we pay the entrance fee for Mt. Hengshan to him. This did not go over well with Luke nor should it have: it was clearly a scam. Another example of gouge the tourist and with me being there, the price of the scam increased. The taxi driver was putting on a well animated show. He was screaming and jumping up and down ...

... Peking. Uplne ho cele predelavaji. Centrum je tedy uplne rozkopane bez asfaltu. Mraky aut bez prasnych cest jsou opravdu zazitek. Zajeli jsme asi 25km za mesto na buddhisticke skalni chramy a pak probehly centrum plne vsudypritomneho prachu - opravdu zazitek. Nakonec jsme meli co delat abychom stihli autobus na Wutaishan.<br>

... Jeste nam dolili horkou vodu do termosky a mohli jsme vyrazit na nadrazi na vlak do Taiyuanu. Dopravovat se pres noc ma jedinou nevyhodu, pokud clovek jede na kratsi vzdalenost bud riskuje, ze v cili bude ve tri hodiny rano, nebo musi jet vlakem, ktery vyjizdi kolem pulnoci. Nastesti cekarna v Datongu je luxusni, cistounka, nekuracka (coz vsichni az na par vyjimek respektovali), s cistou koupelnou, skopickama na myti nohou a neomezenym mnoztsvim varici vody na caj a nudle. Oba ...

... the station to a place I think was called the Lantern where it was all quite decadent and looked a bit upmarket for us now we're backpackers, but once we browsed the menu we found a couple of dishes that took our fancy. We ordered dumplings, shredded pork with beans and Spicy Noodles which was enough to feed an army, with a couple of beers the grand total came to 50 yuan (about a fiver). Heading to Pingyao tomorrow morning by bus and it's an early start so off to bed.

... western and Chinese food. The included breakfast is one of our top reasons for staying in a nice hotel in China. Jiang seemed very used to visitors who have traveled afar, he easily let us call it a day without insisting on taking us to a diner. We all went to bed early and felt we were back home again.

... actually found the part of the wall they had actually started rebuilding. As the sun began setting my stomach woke from its happy sleep with a ferocious appetite and as I was searching for something to eat I came across a restaurant called YH Fast Food and thought hey, I'm hungry and it promises fast so why not. What a great choice it was. My noodles were totally awesome and ...

... With a unique octagon structure in each tier, and a special designed lightning top, the pagoda can still stand firmly and remains intact. It continues to reveal its exquisite quality in a rustic, simple manner, despite the long exposure to the elements, violent earthquakes and intense thunderbolt. The wind bells hung under each eave add more interest to this wooden ...
