Jinguang Express (Guomao) Taiyuan

... crowd has gathered, someone will cry "Taiyuan" and the crowd will ooh and ahh in a "Oh you mean Taiyuan, sure you should have said" kind of way!

Ticket successfully in hand, we followed our Bus Lady across the road to our sleeper. (She had the most beautiful boots) The bus was filled with the tiniest bunk beds you've ever seen. Just about big enough for a short leprechaun to lie on his side and curl up his feet. (mild exaggeration only)

The bus ...

Z Wutaishanu jsme vyjeli autobusem v 8:10. Cesta do Taiyuanu trvala asi 4 hodiny, vetsina osazenstva ji prospalo - i kdyz personal autobusu se to snazil narusit poustenim nejake cinske superstar neuveritelne nahlas.

Jedna zastavka na benzinove pumpe. Zacina se zdat, ze toalety na benzinkach budou hlavnimi adepty na cenu "Zachod Julie Hubenakove". Hlavne devcata si porad nemuzou zvyknout na vykonavani potreby pred zraky ostatnich Cinanek ve fronte. O zapachu ani nemluve ...

We had about 10 minutes to get ready for dinner, we were meeting Mr. Bai, the CEO of the corporation Ms. Niu was working for. I'm not sure why he wanted to meet with us, but we headed down for dinner. When we got to dinner we were ...

We get dropped off at the Qingxu service station at 2:30am. There's a 24hr convenient store, we find a row of plastic seats and tries to make it until the sun comes up. We have been on the road nonstop for 18 hours, have to wait 7 more hours before we can find a bed.

Before arriving in Yichang my son said to keep things simple in this city. As soon as we arrived yesterday we went to the concierge and asked about a tour to the 3 gorges dam. The concierge told us that we could sign for the tour right then. We did paying our 200 yuan on the spot. The only way to see the dam is via an official tour. A little later the confcierge told us that the tour would be a chinese led ...

... signature. This second building also had a 360 degree theater detailing the history surrounding the Terracotta Warriors. Though the movie was in Chinese, visually it was easy enough to understand. The last three buildings were the pits in which the Terracotta Warriors were found. The first pit was by far the most impressive with thousands (I believe around 6000) of common soldiers lined up in ranks with some horses ...

... the next five hours walking around the city in search of the shopping streets and something exciting to do. We went to a food court for dinner that Jiang Ni had visited before. She had only ever been to one part of the city and that was around the train station area so we were both at a loss for what to do. The food we were served made us even ...

... we took a break to rest and check out the view. We then hiked on to this hillside temple and Jason and I went inside. It was pretty cool, mostly Buddhist statues, which are nothing new to me, but it was nice and they had some representations of the various gods (thunder, lightning, wind, etc.) and we also climbed to the top of the bell tower and drum tower and I took lots of pictures, so I was happy.
