Because travelling is passion…
2011-07-01 | China travel Guide
It all started on one afternoon when, sat on a bench at GXNU (Guangxi Normal University) having a juice with some Costa Rican friends, we decided to move away for the next coming weekend and leave the though beautiful Guilin city for one day or so with just a backpack and the unforgettable Lonely Planet guide to have fun. (I extremely recommend that guide, it helped me a lot since I started to travel in China 4 years ago!).
Hong Kong-Pearl of the Orient
2011-06-30 | China travel Guide
It has been long time I planned to take a visit Hong Kong, it was a little pity last time I did not visit Hong Kong once I was in Macao in 2009, because I would like to give myself more time to explore Hong Kong as it is worthy to spend several days instead of only one day. So, in early June, during my Dagon Boat Festival holiday, I had the opportunity to visit Hong Kong, my dream really came true. Now let me show you some Hong Kong highlights which I found.

My National Labor Day at Merryland
2009-05-05 | Life in Guilin
As in many countries, also in China the 1st of May is celebrated as the National Labor Day. This means that people have a national holiday and also our office was closed.

The weather was good and so all of us were looking forward to this day! ...
A Visit of Seven Star Park
2009-04-14 | Life in Guilin
As I am living in Guilin for half a year now, I think I should get to know my cultural surrounding as well. So, last weekend I decided to go to Seven Star Park spontaneously. Compared to other prices, the entrance fee (35Yuan) is quite high. But already when I was walking along the flower bridge, I knew it was worth its money. I was faced with beautiful scenery: beautiful hills, the river and alleys. Everything was of a beautiful green.

The altars were emblazed and incense sticks were enlightened. All in all it was easy to forget the city outside and find some moments for myself. ...
