Ch 29: Leaving YangShuo
July 28/29
The 28th was a travelling day. We were able to acquire 4 hard sleepers (ying wo) for the 22 hour trip to HangZhou from Guilin. Trains are by far the best way to travel in China when you have the time. The ability to see the world pass by (and the scenery change) from the confort of a sleeping car is an experience I enjoy very much. While very scenic and peaceful I actually found myself happy to leave YangShuo. Sure, it's beautiful but it's really a town made for foreigners (which I am I know!) but I wanted to get more of the local Chinese experience.
BTW, Chinese Ramen (which is La Mien or "pulled noodles" a chinese invention) rock! They are pretty damn tasty, come in a billion flavors and cheap to boot. Perfect food for a relaxing train ride.
