Jujingge Hotel Yangshuo

... He said the scenery was just stunning. The area is surrounded by a very strange mountain range. The weirdest shapes and formations but bery beautiful. In the evening we went to a light show, had expected a lazer light show, but it was all people (100s of them) with lights and singing, set on the river - again, very unusual and a lovely setting in the mountains ...

... I saw one I had to take a photo... Mum was the same and the funny thing was we weren't even in the same place on the boat, she stayed downstairs and I was up on the top deck! Also saw cormorants resting on their poles and tried to get some good photos of them too. <br><br>It took about five hours on the boat, a bit slower than it sometimes takes as the water level is low at the moment, had a few scrapes from time to time. It was nice to ...

... to Shenzen, next to Hong Kong, we did not have much cash left, and Jon was getting displeased about our spending, especially as he put it, he was only spending money when I was around. I felt the same, except I got up early to sneak myself a coffee without the disapproving eyes of the inspectorate. He was right however, and with only about 50 quid for the next few days, we decided we will be taking it easy. We met our roommates that evening, A french bloke, who looked exactly like ...

... my friend from there was in again telling me about the old High School she has taken over to convert to a working hotel with the idea that the staff will all be made up of students from the school. Problem is the buildings all need to be remodeled before anything can be done. Sunday September 13th: It was hot and humid today. I went down to the Juice bar and did one session and decided to go back to my nice air-conditioned apartment until things cool off. The ...

... views of karst formations jutted from the earth. This is where I wanted to be. This is the China that I craved. Our hotel, the Yangshuo Village Inn, was nestled in a small village called Moon Hill. Moon Hill Village was situated at the base of Moon Hill, an ethereal limestone formation made famous by the late American climber Todd Skinner. We had an incredible view from our room, a view that you only see in postcards. It was absolutely stunning ...

... the brain functioning. Ok, brain &#8211; start to function &#8211; please!!!!<br> <br>Because I have class from 9 &#8211; 11:30 and then from 2:30 to 5 pm. And then try to spend another 3-4 hours a day studying, there will not be a lot of adventures for me during the week over the next three weeks. I hope to see some things on my walks through Yangshuo that I can relay to you ...

... and was trying to avoid a puddle. I went to the edge of the path by a big flat rock. What I could not tell because of the weeds was that there was a culvert beside the rock, so my front tire went into the culvert, my left shoe caught, my right thigh hit the handle bar and I did a flip off the front of the bike and landed on my feet 2 or 3 feet in front of my bike. A lady was coming up the path from the other direction and she immediately started laughing hysterically. Yes ...

... out tomorrow night...if I can keep her awake...but I decided to write the blog tonight...and the pictures wouldn't even work. Upsetting. Well tomorrow we have bamboo rafting and then our last bike ride in South China. It has been a remarkable tour. Terrific excercise, made even tougher by our ****** bikes. But really it was just amazing to be in these remote areas completely exposed (i.e. out of a car), under our own power, and ...

... so we didn't bother going out again.<br><br>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.<br><br>Everyone knows everyone and many locals speak english in the area.
