... gorges. Halfway along there is a dilapidated noodle stall where we stop for a quick bowl; an old man there is happily smoking a bong made out of old army ordnance. It's a great 12km walk and of course we are ready for a cold one when we arrive back at the Jade Emu. What both impressed and concerned us was the pathway. The Chinese, it seems to us, have a love and respect for nature, just so long as they can tame it. The roadway along the mountain ridge is an example of that - ...

... and signs for cappucinos, we felt like we were in a more touristy place like south east asia, or even Europe - and then we walked past a young kid sharpening two knives about to skin the animal below him - which was a dog with its head cut off.
