Natürlich wollte ich den Vormittag in meinem luxuriösen Zimmer ausnutzen. Dennoch bin ich in der Früh zum Bahnhof um mir die Abfahrtszeit des Zuges bestätigen zu lassen, denn gestern wurde mir gesagt, der Zug würde um 12:16 Uhr abfahren, am Ticket stand aber 21:16 - was sich als richtig heraus…

Off to Nanning to get our Vietnam visa. Well, eventually. Going against everything I believe in, we boarded an overnight train to Shanghai, having nowhere to stay and no ticket out. We arrived shortly after 7am and stumbled into the ticket office, praying that there was a train to Nanning …

Nanning, the capital city of Guangxi. A dynamic green city, is now opening its arms to all the guests from oveasea with its broad mind, and diversified cultures

"Would you like your dog with rice or noodles Sir?" Nanning is not a touristy place but is famous for its dog dishes - that it dishes made of dog, so eating here was always going to be interesting. In fact we managed to avoid dog and managed a good meal of beef, pork and some form of Asian veg; our…

People i met here, who contributed to and improved my trip: Juliana (Russia) We spent most of the day lazing around our hostel in Guilin and on the train to Nanning. The highlight of this journey was a woman who had several live chickens in a box on the luggage rack and a bag of live fish on her l…

After boarding the long 12 hr overnight train from Quangzhou we ended up at the train station at 6am in the morning.

I arrived in Nanning at night. After my long train ride I just wanted to check into a hotel and figure out how to get to Hanoi as soon as possible. China had gotten old and the excitement was gone. I found a hotel right across the street from the train station. The ladies there spoke English well, …

We made it to China doing the epic journey from Hanoi to Hong Kong by train, not for the faint hearted! We started off in a race against time to catch our train. It took us a while to find a taxi driver who knew where the station is (a contradiction in terms surely!) and when we got in, he rang som…

In 2000 I started to travel around the EurAzian continent. Not in one vacation ofcourse, there is work waiting for me at home, but in leg of 6 weeks. Every journey is about 3000 km long.

After a long lie in we got up and discussed the days itinerary. Though Nanning is big in the sense of money and shops it seems small in terms of exploration. We had been given a map from reception which had little detail or depth to show what was around but it did show the train station so that…

I ended up sleeping really well on my plank bed with courtesy door mat in place of a matress. AFTER LEAVING MY CAMERA ON THE TRAIN!! :( On another train to Pingxiang. Had a hard time finding out where to buy a train ticket ut asked these Americans who were helpful. Sat opposite some woman with her…

So, last stop in China. We arrived in Nanning around 8pm, emerging into a sleepy looking town after dark. We found our hostel with a bit of difficulty, it had a different name above the door! We checked into a triple room for a very reasonable 50Y each and got the elevator up to our floor.…
