Xiangyun Hotel Nanning

... China showing off their massive military size, with an endless procession of amongst others; tanks and missiles! Interesting.... but I saw no real flag waving or celebrations form the locals myself.<br><br>Next stop was onto Chongqing, a place recommended by a friend of a friend, and, what we've been told is now the largest city in the world (I'd never heard of it before either!). I actually enjoyed this place, the first two cities we visited, were very ...

... and China. Sometimes when I have to go, I mean I really have to go. So no way out for me but " The Big Poo" had to be done. In China it is all very clean, but they do their Big Poo "kneeling" down and have no problems with Western signs about a toilet seat up! There simply is no toilet seat!! No The Big Poo had to be done and sweaty like a pig I entered the men´s room. All little cubicles and all with a small " Hole-In-The-Floor!" Oh my God, how am I gonna do this?? Well again ...

This is my very first trip abroad with my best-friends, and i couldn't be more happier than spending 3-4 days with Irma &amp; Lisa...<br>It's the perfect getaway for our independence day weekend..<br><br>Booked ourselves travel package which include everything at reasonable price (i haven't been on "group tour" for such a long time, lately ...

... the food was never anything special. In China, hotel rates run around $10 (for a significantly larger room, but the same general level of service and cleanliness) but food prices are more around $2-3 per meal-and the food is better in general.<br><br>After a restful night, we woke, re-packed, and walked around to the bus station and our waiting coach, bound for Guilin.<br><br>

We arrived in Nanning just after 1pm and wove our way through the busy city streets to the accommodation we had booked the night before, checked in and dropped our bags before heading out for some food. Nanning itself is not large, although it is characterised by the typical modern Chinese skyscrapers which light the night's sky with neon, but it's just so unremarkable. If it wasn't for the Chinese characters ...

Nanning on tunnettu puistoistaan. Kaupunki olikin hiostavan kuuma, bussi asemalta keskustaan ja perinteiseen kiinalaismajoitukseen. Illalla kaupungille seikkailemaan ja nuudelikeittoa ryystamaan. Ihmiset pelailevat kiinalaista shakkia puistoissa, nuoret vaeltavat loputtomilla ostosvainioilla ...

... countries compared to which the part of the world I come from looks like Gobi or Atacama desert. Population density per area unit in South Korea is said to be one of the highest in the world. Higher than in China. But there you´ve got one third of entire population packed in Seoul, and outside of it everything looks considerably different. Here, on the other hand, for the first time I had a feeling I was outright washed over by the sea of people. When the traffic lights are red ...

... be missed - Guilin for the red hat-wearing Chinese tour groups and Yangshuo for Western backpackers - Longji Titian is an ideal place for those who cherish rural tranquility and solitude. Indeed, to get to the Dragon's Backbone one must ascend dizzying heights (the highest in southern China), and enter a mystical fog that removes everything travelers know about modern China, placing you in a time when people were one with the ...

... in English. He suggested somewhere else to try but they were the same. I decided to find out about getting to the Detain waterfalls nearby so headed to the CITS (Chinese International Travel service). I took a side street that was full of market stalls very interesting all the food out on the side of the street really. I could cope with the fish and raw meat section but did worry about coming across dog hung up. I didn't but they are eaten around here. There were loads of ...

... countryside and has some of the steepest sections of the wall. In fact, rather than a walk, it would be better described as 10kms of climbing up and down stairs. It is not an easy trek and only parts of the wall have been restored but there are fewer tourists around on this section which makes the site seeing much more pleasant. Seeing The Great Wall for the first time was a truly remarkable experience given it's fame and it's sheer size and would definitely ...
