CHINA | Friday, 8 Apr 2011 | Views [2210]

As I had posted a parcel of clothing etc to Guangzhou we had to make the 568 km trip to pick up it up so we decided it was a great opportunity to try the Sleeper Bus. Our tactic was to pay a premium price to ensure the best possible experience, so ... Read more >

We just loved our three nights in Shaxi, to get there meant spending   2.5 hours on a public bus then another hour in a minivan that only makes the journey once   it’s full, but the place had this untouched peaceful vibe and the scenery was beautiful.... Read more >
