Beautiful.
Riding in the bus from the Li River dock to Xingping, and then from Xingping to Yangshuo, I couldn't help but think "this is it."

The sites of "wild" China are the most beautiful in the world. I actually considered asking the bus driver to stop the bus, so I could get off at one of the villages to explore.

I really wish I had. That may be one regret I'll have for a long time. Of course, I still have three months to visit remote villages in Sichuan. But seeing the villages in Guangxi brought me back...to my childhood's imagination of China.

But, at the same time, I didn't want to be stranded, either. It actually would be nice, but I had a plane ride to catch on Tuesday, so...I was on a time schedule.

Perhaps when my Chinese is a lot better, I'll one day get off the bus at one of these villages. I just...really want to talk with the people, and learn about their lifestyles.

I now better understand and appreciate the world's people, through my time as an expat overseas. I have traveled arou... full info

For centuries China stood as a leading civilization, outpacing the rest of the world in the arts and sciences, but in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the country was beset by civil unrest, major famines, military defeats, and foreign occupation. A...more info
