Wuyuan is most beautiful in Spring If you get chance someday, you really should go back to this place, especially to Jiangling, which is a couple of miles away from Xiaoqi. At the beginning of April, the rape flower terrace spreading lovely yellow in the hole long valley will take take your breath away. Just been there weeks ago. Really wonderful scenery
Hey Ben! You have taken some fabulous shots. I didn't realise you were also a superb photographer amongst your many other talents! Love the observing fishing with the red bucket.
Hope you have a fabulous 2 weeks back here. Please say hello to Clare and tout la famille.
Lots of love Elaine xxxxx
That's not Mao his name is Peng Dehuai, the commander-in-chief of People's Volunteer Army in the Korean War. This guy lead chinese troop to push the US army away from Yalu river to The 38th Parallel . He once took Seoul, but lost it later.
fantastic! Unbelievable Ben. .what a wonderful trip, sorry Clare missed the ice city. We loved the tigers but not the other little animal! Must have been very difficult coping with such extremes of temperatures Excellent photos too G&G

Christmas Eve! Hi darling. have tried to send you a personal message but not sure whether it's worked. Sounds amazing out there - so many parties and looks like a great bunch of people. And lovely beaches! Photos really good.
Can't believe it's Christmas eve here - doesn't feel christmassy without you. New house rule - no-one's allowed to be away from home for Christmas EVER again!
love you lots and missing you - skype soon.
hello from portrush Hi Ben
I've really enjoyed reading all your entries and it was great to see the photos !
We're looking forward to getting Hannah home for Christmas now ( that is if the airports are open )
She will be frozen when she gets home - I think it's around -5 tonight !!
Good luck with all your travels in 2011 and keep up the blogging.
Love Hannah's mum
nice blog ben, makes for a good read. keep it up!
haha this looks like a cool place. apparently swastikas in china are linked to buddhism and mean 'eternality' - you learn something new every day.
hope your having an awesome time, it sure sounds like you are!
Welcome to my little travel blog. This thing has been set up just to document my year in Hainan, China studying at Haikou University.
During holiday periods I will be travelling around Hainan at first, and then I'll move on to travelling around the rest of China.
Enjoy!... full info
