To give you an idea - a 'hard sleeper' is a bed in a six berth compartment of a train carriage. On our journey to Datong we had the bottom two bunks; this was bad news as everybody seemed to sit (and stand !) on our beds. We learnt our lesson though and next time vowed to request either the middle or top beds if travelling overnight again. The journey took 7 hours in total and was actually quite a good way to travel as well as being economical. On arrival at Datong station, all the 'Westerner...
Datong, China danandrosemarie We flew from Xi'an to Lanzhou - just an hour's flight.
Lanzhou is an old city which has become very industrialised and parts are quite grim, but other areas are very pleasant. The city straddles the Huang He - the famous Yellow River.
Highlights of Lanzhou:
The fantastic Flying Horse which we saw in the Museum - a marvel.
A trip on the Yellow River on a raft kept afloat with 13 sheeps skins - This was Virginia and Dutti's adventure - Pintoo and I watched from the safe...

Actually I did start my trip from my home to Lhasa and which was one of the stop point on the way to Lasa however it is not too much bad city it is located along the yellow river and it is settled at the buttum of the mountains. This is one of the most easy place to visit some of the Tibetan regions in Gan su, Sichuan, Qinghai and Lhasa, it was really difficult to me have the train ticket to Lasa.

Somewhere in, China eobd22... and will be lucky to get either. So it's now 11:00pm on New Years Eve 2008. I have a case of beer cooling in the fridge, a sleeping Chinese Beauty on my couch and one hours left of yet another fun filled year in the life of Living The Dream here in Mysterious China. I could have been ...
Shangzhou, China eddakath... also threw in different types of 'growth' some of which resembled Davey Jones facial hair from 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. Ok, it wasn't a snack stall but a traditional Chinese Medicine Man/Dude/Person/Thing. So that is how an Aussie Roo spends his fourth birthday in the mysterious lands of China! Beers N Noodles ...
Shangzhou, China eddakath... here in Xian yet I had done in Kaifeng and Chongwu. It was time to see the city from on top of the city walls! Xian City Walls: (I think this was from www.travelchina.com) One of only two cities with intact surrounding walls in China. Xian's has been restored and is wide enough to easily ride 5 bikes across. You can hire one at the top of the South gate. If you want to foot it though, a complete ...
Xian, China eddakath... done and then we were herded into the store....i proceeded to walk out with a few people because we were a little upset. We decided to explore....we walked around in the area and we have must have been quite a sight. People were pointing and staring at us which was very interesting. We took pictures of them staring at us. There were also little carts of meat being sold....at this point it looked good. After walking around we went to dinner....needless to say some people got ...
Suzhou/Honzou, Jiangsu, China msdodson... from their government over the past 40 years, but do they know what the international community is trying to do to help? Will this be the catalyst that mobilizes them into finally overthrowing one of the most repressive regimes on the planet? This week, after eight days in Hong Kong, we arrived in mainland China. As you can imagine, the newspapers write of little other than the Sichuan earthquake. During our night ...
Yangtze River, China oneyearawayHey Hey and a big G'Day to you all Decided to head out of Xiahe today and make our way to Lanzhou the capital of Gansu. I was a bit worried about this day as Baiyan being only around forty-five minutes away will have the same or some of the same feel about it. What if I didn't like Lanzhuo? Would I have the heart to teach in Baiyan? We left Xiahe on the 10:30am bus and arrived in Linxia around 1:00pm. Not a bad ...
