Yangshuo and Xingping, Guanxi Province

I arrived late at night in Yangshuo after a taxi, train and bumpy bus ride. 

Cool plant!!

Yangshuo has become a big tourist town, which means it has a ton of western food and you see foreigners everywhere. For me, it's always a nice break to be around foreigners again and to be able to enjoy a good cup of coffee. 


I biked to a famous old town called Xingping- the bike ride was stunning.




What is this plant?



old roof

old house













Xingping















This pic makes me laugh so much


Wonderful little tea shop


Old town Xingping




Pearls!

Back in Yangshuo



SO many people 
Hiked up to the TV tower the next morning- unfortunately it was really foggy (and humid)

Dripping sweat. 


Biked to Moon Hill and then around the river



If it hadn't been for its unfortunate dwarf size, quite a nice bike all in all.

  1. love them all, as usual - I have NEVER seen mountains that look like those in your photos - the fog only makes them look eerier than they already look - so so cool. Beautiful scenery! I like your upside down photo at the end... you look well - how are your students doing?
