No.50 Yingze Street, Yingze District Taiyuan, Shanxi, China, 030001
When the bus rolled into Tashkurgan I thought I made a mistake leaving beautiful Karakul Lake to come see this border town. After checking into a dorm room at the New Traffic Hotel (not sure when it was new...maybe 1980?), I wandered into the two streets that form the 4 blocks of the commercial and only active part of the city. I thought, yeah, ...
Tashkurgan, China jkirbyAfter saying my goodbyes to the Americans who were taking the trans-desert highway to Korla, I took a taxi to the bus station. My sleeper bus left at 10.30 Beijing time and it took us to 14.15 to reach Keriya where we stopped for 2 hours. I had lunch at one of the small restaurants outside the station there. The second leg of the journey through...

That was the funniest and oddest bus I've ever been on! Firstly, It took forever to actually book at ticket! The trains were completely booked out so we dragged our backpacks to the bus station. At the station it took the usual amount of repeating and hand gesturing to get a ticket!

Jedna zastavka na benzinove pumpe. Zacina se zdat, ze toalety na benzinkach budou hlavnimi adepty na cenu "Zachod Julie Hub...

Taiyuan, Shanxi, China jenny77June 12th- We got up early Friday morning to do some work before our flight to Taiyuan. After lunch we took a cab to the airport where we got our tickets and boarded China Eastern Airlines. It is a great airline, riding the plane here is extremely convenient and well-organized. I had my doubts, but this was one of the better flying experiences I...
Taiyuan, Shanxi, China jstellarWe 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.
Taiyuan, Shanxi, China whereskyleBefore 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 lat...
