I hope you received my postcards.
I went to Guilin for a couple of days. In the Guangxi province. Then a trip down the Li river by ferry to
Yangshou.
Guangxi is considered to be one of the most scenic provinces in the PRC. Yangshou is now a very touristy town. The main street is West street. But the locals refer to it as ' Western ' street..for obvious reasons.
Although inward tourists did at least equal the others.
But not for me this cafe, bars, cacophony of music, neon, and shoulder to shoulder throngs of humanity.
I stayed in a very small hamlet..about 25 kms out of Yangshou. At night crickets. and frogs were the only sounds I could hear. And see fireflies.
In the mornings, woke up to a nearby farmer playing the flute. Sound of birds. Clouds. Mountains, and the Yulong river. And all around me, green and mist and clouds..
The view from my balcony. The famous Karst hills of Guangxi.
I have run out of postage stamps. Not of postcards. There is no post office nearby. It is a very small rural part of China, where I am.
Thank you for being with me on this marvelous and eye-opening journey for me.
