One of the most enriching travelling experiences I have ever had was on an island little known to foreign tourists located in Zhejiang Province in eastern China. The island is called Putuo Shan. The island itself is located about an hour by boat from the small sea-side town of Ningbo (宁波)(itself too worth a visit!) and around eight to nine hours from Shanghai for those of you who enjoy longer boat rides!

2010-06-18 | China travel Guide
With three days holiday I needed something do, so harnessing my adventurous spirit I decided to visit one of the twelve counties that surround Guilin.

Irrespective of your goal or expectation, it pays to take care especially in Asia when bargain-hunting....

2010-06-09 | China travel Guide
For those of us on a shoestring budget, cabbing it from one side of the city to the other on a daily basis isn't always doable.

Chinese public-transport works on the idea of moving a lot of people very quickly, so don't expect to find the cushioned-seat, air-conditioned buses and trains your used to at home, indeed most buses and trains have few seats and limited air-conditioning, but that is not to say that they're not useful....

Hereby, you will follow up of my step to see the new Nanning, also the different short tour experience from Guilin. ...
We have many kinds of customs in China during Spring Festival (new year in Chinese lunar calendar). Usually, we stick New Year scrolls on the gates, hang laterns at the door, set off firecrackers and have dumpling dinner on New Year's Eve. We stay up late or all night on New Year's Eve, which we call Shousui (to keep the passing year and welcome the new year).
