Langmusi, another little place we added at the last minute. Only a 3 hour bus ride away from Xiahe. Langmusi is a sleepy border town, between the Gansu and Sichuan provinces.

Langmusi
Yes!! in China certainly. We completely underestimated the size and population in towns/cities. Booking trains a week or so in advance restricted us a little so would to go back to do the even smaller towns and villages. Just getting a bicycle was refreshing although in Langmusi this was not possible due to the wild dogs. Thank you. Not many people think much goes into the planning but even though we researched our trip beforehand, we have to do it again on the road. Blogging and planning can take a while. The USA has been a killer for this as of late as we've opted to do buses instead of car rental to save us money. Keep seeing your really intriguing posts. I cannot wait to read them as we are going to a few of the same places in the south.

A balanced travel diet...
I love the way the two of you try and see a country from as many angles as possible. It's inspiring! I hope to use your China blogs as a reference when we eventually book our trip to china. Are you still in India? Safe onward travels. xx

A balanced travel diet.
You have a way with words Ren. I like it. Balanced Travel diet. Thank you. Lol Yes we are still here. One week left. We did 5 weeks similar to yourselves although spent a little more up Rajastan and around. The north was amazing but I was completely shattered afterwards. Goa and hampi were much needed. We have a house boat booked for tomorrow too. Very excite. Slightly disappointed we didnt manage way up north like Ladakh. ? Heard some incredible things. There is always a next time..
