We checked out early from the "Outside Inn" village guesthouse and caught a bus to Gullin where we left some luggage behind so that we could hike lightweight through the Longji Rice terraces. The terraces are huge and sit between massive hills and mountains, they have apparently been there for 700 hundred years. The people who live high up in the hills still continue to farm the land in a similar fashion even today. Our guest house was completely wooden but had the most amazing view overlook...

Country of contrast! :) i've been in nine cities in China and would love to visit some others:)

Jour 2 dans le parc. Et il fait super beau et chaud. Ye! Nous avont explorer le cote nord est du parc. Nous avont une carte tres sommaire du parc. Pas de denivele ou de distance. Nous decidons de faire une route qui semble pas trop difficile.... On etait tout fier de nos 3800 marches... et bien a notre grande douleur musculaire, nous avons battu de loin cet exploit. On a monte des marches particulierement a pic pendant 3h, au soleil et a l'humidite. On a suivi ensuite les pics en montant et...

Newsflash : I was almost killed by a small black chicken...you know the black ones that is used to boil herbal soup? The chicky was trying his luck at retribution. Bird Flu my ass...I was walking on this 2 foot pathway by the side of a hill and the other side is a plunging fall into a chocolate river..... and the black chicky ran through my legs, throwing me off balance and I almost fell a whole 2 meters down the rocky death threatening cliff into the raging rapid chocolate river. @Monsoon &...

using holidays spent at Guilin, China. Breath-taking view of Longji Terraces, the view should be terrific during summer with water reflecting the sunlight.

I recently took a 15 day ritz tour to China where we jumped from city to city seeing pretty much everything we could. We also enjoyed the local cuisine! As difficult as our schedule was we saw some pretty amazing sights. From what I have read, alot of these places were rocked by that massive earthquake.

These are just some of my favorite photos from the first leg of my world tour. Starting off with Japan, then Taiwan, Korea & China. This blog chronicles my travels over the first part of my adventure. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do. :D

I spent three weeks in March of 2007 traveling through China. Recently, a friend planning a trip there asked if I had any advice, so I drafted these tips for him.

Travelled to south of China during the summer break from uni to teach english and travel around

In the last year of my college life, my friends and I went there. It's a beautiful town.

I am an ESOL teacher with a group called WorldTeach. I have lived in Chaling, Hunan Province (SE China) since August 2006. This log is a collection of my experiences in Chaling as well as my frequent short trips both inside and outside Hunan. Enjoy.

I didn't sleep too badly last night. I was awoken every couple of hours as the train bumped along futhur down into China. We made the mistake of not buying any breakfast supplies for the journey, so we munched on crisps and popcorn. The view was absolutely spectacular. Not a single part of of the country passed by uninhabited. 1.4 billion people seem to be evenly spread throughout the land. As we progressed deeper south, the vegatation  became more green and lush. The mountains are beaut...
