Yangshuo, Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang Province, China
25 - 27 January 2011.
While our overland excursion began first in Beijing, China - and to there we returned in our final week on the continent- the real deal of this journey began after our brief stay in the capital city. Admittedly, we were still on something of a main travelers trail in this region, but we passed through at a time when in these rural spots we were among few other trekkers. To be in China during this period, when the prevailing aim of the peoples' focus goes almost totally 'local', was wildly refreshing and more than a treat to say the very least.
