Yichang Travel Blogs

Background: 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. After World War II, the Communists under MAO Zedong established an autocratic socialist system that, while ensuring China's sovereignty, imposed strict controls over everyday life and cost the lives of tens of millions of people. After 1978, his successor DENG Xiaoping and other leaders focused on market-oriented economic development and by 2000 output had quadrupled. For much of the population, living standards have improved dramatically and the room for personal choice has expanded, yet political controls remain tight.

We Give Thanks For... Yichang?!? Asia » China » Hubei » Yichang
So we departed the boat, and fortunately Hong had a map of the town, which showed that the train station was only 3k from the dock. My miles/kilometres conversion skills leave a bit to be desired but I think thats about one mile. Most of the other passengers were already sorted and got straight on their buses. The taxi drivers wanted to charge us 100Y for a mini-bus into town. We didn't want to pay that much for something that was so close, and there were no public buses. They were all bastards and were talking to each other telling each [View Full Entry]

Apres avoir essuyé plusieurs échecs dans mes tentatives d'obtenir un billet de train pour Pingyao ou X'ian, je suis arrivé au guichet de gare de Pékin avec pas moins de quatre itinéraires en poche, soigneusement rédigés en caracteres chinois par mes soins (ca prend du temps, mais c'est le seul moyen de se faire comprendre :)). Du désert hostile de Tengri, dans le lointain Ningxia, aux paysages bucoliques de l'Anhui, c'est finalement l'itinéraire le plus central, premier sur ma liste de par sa commodité, qui s'est imposé. Destination Luoyang, dans la province du Hénan. La cité en elle-meme n'a [View Full Entry]

Olympia Asia » China » Hubei » Yichang
Hallo Leute Wieder mal einen Eintrag von mir. Also ich bin jetzt in China. Aber zuerst noch die letzten Tage in Singapur. Ich hatte noch keinen Unterricht, jedoch habe ich jetzt alle meine Unterrichtsklassen... Bis in die dritte Woche in China zu bleiben war nicht gerade die kluegste Idee, da wir in der dritten Woche zum Teil Gruppen formen muessen und ich nicht da sein werde (man wird mich bis dahin nicht einmal im Unterricht gesehen haben...), aber wird schon klappen, irgendwie. Also wir haben am Freitag die Eroeffnungszeremonie in einer Bar angeschaut. Wir waren sehr viele versc [View Full Entry]

Three Gorges Asia » China » Hubei » Yichang
I am currently in Yichang after going on a cruise down the Three Gorges. There's this really fancy looking internet cafe, unfortunately, everyone in it is smoking so it's hard to breath, so this will be fast, even though it deserves more time. Took a 13 hour train ride to get to Wuhan from which we caught a five hour bus ride to Yichang. Orginally going to spend a night in Yichang, but the boat was only leaving on the day we arrived, so we headed out right away. We saw the Three Gorges Dam before heading off on the river [View Full Entry]

The Yangtze Cruise Asia » China » Hubei » Yichang
Hey guys! Has been a rather hectic last week or so; full of travelling and new arrangements so we have been detatched from the internet for a while! I guess I last left my blog in Chongqing, the city of smog, so I guess it is only right that I pick up from where I left off... We did eventually stumble upon a more pleasant area of the town, full of dazzling neon lights and all the glitz that goes with the new emerging China. After absorbing a few rays from walking down the main streets and having a friendly beer [View Full Entry]

Back row bus crew!!
Arrested!!
Misty gorge...

Heut morgen um 10:00 spuckte mich der Zug hier aus. Wieder einmal eine von den kleineren Stadten. 4 Mio und unbekannt. Nur der Dreischluchenstaudamm, der hier 35km um die Ecke gebaut wurde kennt die ganze Welt. Ich hatte mich schon einmal bemueht ein Ticket zu bekommen, das war jedoch aufwengig und vor allem teuer. Erst sollte es 150.- euro, dann 220.- euro kosten in dem Reisebüro in Xi'an. Dann hatte ich beschlossen einfach hier hin zu fahren und Glueck zu haben. Hm, ich hatte schon einen Alternativplan in meinem Hinterkopf......aber es hat funktioniert!!! Da die Stadt nun wirklich nix zu bi [View Full Entry]
