Tangdu Hotel Taiyuan

... strange events as the bus driver began to drive again!

Five minutes up the road from where we had parked for the night, we turned into a bus station. Final destination! We were there in Taiyuan!! We had spent the night parked just metres from where we had wanted to be all along!! AArg!! Lost in translation!! The crew had a grand ole laugh at my confused and angry questioning!! Free nights accomodation all the same!

Love ye lots

... of how tall it is. The third stop is from the bottom. By this time fog had lifted enough to see across. To get to the viewing spot one must walk through a park running along the river. The park was built to show materials used in the construction. A waterfall is made from stones used to show how they were cut and so forth. On the way back to the city we asked Lucy about a good place to eat and she ...

... behind these locks. The idea: one buys a lock, attaches it to one of the chains on the mountain, makes a wish and then throws the key over the mountain in hopes that the mountain will grant his/her wish.

... mopped regularly, the tickets are checked diligently, and the shades are closed like clockwork. The staff are super-serious and you don't really want to mess with them.
