Xiamen Hongdu Park Hotel

Xiamen was a typical Chinese city. It was not very interesting really. About the only exciting thing that happened took place in a local department store.

... and good views.<br><br>Just a word on environmental issues - China has a reputation for being the Bad Boy of the environment but we have been amazed how conscious they seem to be - it's generally very clean (but they have an army of cleaners), there is good use of low energy light bulbs and in most places they have recycling and non-recyclying bins. The toilets are mostly clean and the people mostly friendly - China has come a long way in 10 years. Apart from the driving.<br><br>

... for China and the persimmon harvest is also in full swing. The roads may have improved in China but I cannot say the same for the driving. I don't know whether to close my eyes or keep them open so I can brace myself for the impact!

... violently, usually leaving you standing with only one foot on the ground, and this one foot definitely no where near underneath your centre of gravity. As the trolley passes though and you come back onto 2 feet, there is an opportunity to be snatched of surging your way into a slightly more advantageous position in the scrum. Said process to be repeated multiple times until after nearly an hour the train guards finally reappear and declare that there are ...

... winter is coming. I guess Santa is already waiting up there in the northern plains of Novosibirsk, all packed up and ready to go. After breakfast I felt it is time to become active or freeze to death, so I enquired about air tickets to somewhere warm. Hainan island was quite a long way, but the girls at the reception got me a very cheap ticket to Xiamen, a place on the southeast coast I always wanted to visit, with a forecast promising more than 20 degrees down there ...

It would be Y300 (the actual posted list price, as opposed to the posted discount price) and there weren't any rooms available anyway until Saturday, when we have to return to Hong Kong. Apparently there is going to be some big conference in town, involving Malaysia as far as we can work out, and all the hotels will be full. We will need to find a room somewhere for the last night, at whatever price, so that's ...
