I'm still in the Yangshuo district but now in the tiny town of Xingping 27kms to the north and it's time for a climb. The Laozhai Shan peak (see left with tiny pagoda and antenna on top) is in the centre of town and straight across the street from my hostel. In spite of hazy rainy weather I could not resist its pull and decided to climb the gazillion stone steps to the top. It is not for the faint of heart particularly nearing the top but after a few stops to find my nerve I made it and even on a hazy day the view is a corker! [see below for images] |

My current nomad's life has landed me in beautiful Yangshuo (Guanxi province). And happy is the nomad and budget traveler when she finds a great little guesthouse in the heart of town offering far more than one should expect in a guesthouse that costs roughly $12 a day for a large double room with en suite bathroom. Over the moon that it should also include hot and cola showers and bathroom Chinglish. And secretly delighted to be able to add my own small (and childish) contribution (left) to the Chinglish collector's treasure trove while at the same time, perhaps providing at least the illusion of Nirvana, for some of my fellow nomads. That Hong Kong is a city of fog and gloom, or that giant rubber duckies bob about in the sun in Victoria Harbour - who would you believe? CNN or me?
