Wu Feng Hotel Wuzhou

The boat stopped at another temple this morning, but we decided to give it a miss since all of these stops were overpriced and not that exciting. We came up on deck just as the boat was pulling away and about to enter the first of the three gorges. It has a very distinctive entrance. There is a sheer cliff to the right side and a strange wave-li...

Yudda Yudda and Beers N Noodles to all The usual story, up around 5pm. A walk around town that always leads to MC Blues where I joined the Londoners and Derrik and Micky. The night began very slow for me and the pace quickened as the night aged. Soon it was the early hours of the morning and just like the previous morning, these hours found us ...

Hey Hey and a Big G'Day to you all Today was a very sleepy day. I was woken by members of CITS who wanted me to go on a boat cruise. Mate, I've wanted to go on this boat cruise for ages but have never gotten around to it. Today I'm woken and asked if I wanted to go after only three hours sleep. Sadly I said no and placed my head back where it be...

Hejsa! Nu kommer der en lidt mere udfoerlig beretning om vores tid i Guilin's omegn, eftersom vores tid ved internet var ret sparsom da vi var i omraadet. Vi kom til Guilin fra Shanghai med endnu et overnatningstog, og i Guilin blev vi saa koert direkte til en "lille" landsby i naerhenden ved navn Yaungshou. Her kunne vi lave en masse frivillige...

Hey Hey and a Big G'Day to you Just returned from a fantastic weekend in Guigang. Last time we were in Nanning we met up with some teachers that Leeanne knew and they invited us to their fair city for beer and bbq. Being the good Aussies that we are we accepted. After school Friday I caught a bus to Pingguo...did anybody notice something in wha...

3 days of heaven. Sunshine, balmy heat, stunning surroundings, English speaking waiters, wicked food, wonderful company, Complacency. Yes indeed. China's Great God of Adversity has returned. After an amazing day yesterday being driven through valleys of dazzlingly multi-green paddy fields gently swaying in a light breeze against a never ending b...

Gareth says: So then. China. Imagine a country absolutely brimming with people. A country with some incredibly beautiful sights (all-be-it a little spread out), a rich, long and varied cultural history, by turns exciting, restful, beautiful, grim, dynamic, retiscent, engaging and alienating. Then paint the whole fecking place grey. The sky, the ...

We decided against breakfast this morning as my stomach had not fully recovered from our disastrous meal at Le Votre. One of Lisa's staff accompanied us to the bus station, which was not really necessary, but I suppose they had to do something for their 20% commission on the tickets. We had not realized that the Wuzhou buses left from this bus s...

There used to be a ferry all the way from Hong Kong to Wuzhou, but when I made enquiries I found this no longer operates. I was advised to take a ferry to Zhaoqing and then a bus to Wuzhou. We had to get up at 6.15 am on Friday morning and make our way to the China Ferry Terminal in Kowloon in time for the 8.30 ferry. After a pleasant four-hour ...

Dylan: In the morning we got on a boat which goes to Wuzhou along the Li River. The trip takes ten hours and goes overnight. We slept on ************ the top bunk. Kit: The boat was very dirty and looked like a concentration camp. From the outside it looked quite small, but inside it looked big. It could hold about two hundred people. We were on...
