Yijusi Business Hotel Taiyuan

... insisted that everyone take off their shoes on entry! So we lay on our sides enveloped in smelly feet odour! Pleasant! In fairness, it was cosy and warm though! The journey passed uneventfully. A toilet stop, a cheesy kung fu movie and some snoring..... Until....

The Bus pulled up to the side of the road, a few got out. Then the bus driver decided he'd have a nap. He had a ciggarette, climbed into one of the bunks and fell asleep. For about five hours ...

... br>Taiyuan mel byt pro nas jen prestupni stanice, ale nakonec jsme v nem stravili cele odpoledne. Taiyaun je vice nezmilionove mesto, prestavbu centra dokoncili pred 2 roky. Hlavni ulice je misty az dvanacti proudova dalnice. Nikde tu nikdy nedelaji nic maleho. Asi sem nejezdi moc turistu. Vsude na nas zirali a v obchodech se nas ani nesnazili moc natahnout, takze jsme tam vubec nesmlouvali. Zasli jsme na jidlo, do muzea umeni provnicie Shanxi a posedeli v mistnim parku.

How to learn Chinese is a frequently asked question. Occasionally, people would like to find a tutor to help them learn Chinese. Actually, in modern times with fast development of internet, online mandarin Chinese seems more ...

... to see the small baijiu glasses from the last time we had dinner with Ms. Niu. Luckily Mr. Bai was drinking wine and offered us wine instead of that vile grain alcohol. Dinner was a very long, but interesting 4 course meal that also came with about 15 other dishes that circled around on a lazy susan. Again there was some serious over ordering, but I think that is tradition when you are entertaining guests. Mr. Bai was clearly ...

We 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.

... it had rained earlier it was just a heavy fog. To get to the dam you must go into the mountains. I'm not sure of the elevation but it is about an hour drive. Near the end the bus goes through 5 tunnels, one of which is over 2 miles long. The tour takes you first to a point overlooking the dam at which time we could barely see across the dam. The 2nd stop is just under the top of the dam which gives the ...

... Jenze jsme nemeli paru, kde stavi, tak sla pani s nama a zkousela nas ukecat. Coz mimo jine privedlo mou mysl k zubum. Nevim, jestli v tehle provincii jsou zubari tak drazi, nebo jestli tu na zubni peci kaslou, ale v zivote jsem nevidela tolik zkazenych zubu jako tady. Nakonec bus prijel, zastavil na krizovatce a zacal vykrikovat jmeno mesta, kam jsme chteli, tak jsme nasedli a jeli. Do Pingyao je to cca 40 kilasku, pohodicka, pekny vyhled na venkovske vesnice a tak.

... I actually liked is how the archaeologists left some of the soldiers un-reconstructed as it was a good indication as to how the warriors were intially discovered. The third pit (Pit 3), which we actually saw second, was smaller with more high-ranking officers unearthed in this section. The second pit (Pit 2) had less warriors than Pit 1, only about 1300, and much work, archaeologically, is still left to be done in ...

The first trip out of Taiyuan was the astonishing 1266 A.D., hanging Shuanglin Monastery perched 40 metres above the ground in the Golden Dragon Valley. The temple comprises 10 halls grouped around 3 courtyards. The halls contain over 2,000 remarkable Buddhist terra cotta and wood statues, which date back to the Song dynasty (960-1271) and the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368). Monks built it to pray from ...
