We have now been in China for about a week, and are now staying in Guilin. We started out in Shanghai where we did some shopping and went for a one-day trip to Suzhou. The weather is nice here, with around 27C, but unfortunately it is quite misty so it is difficult to experince all of the fantastic scenery here. Yesterday we went to the top of the Longji rice terrace hill, where we ate some local rice, prepared in bamboo over fire, and drank some homemade strong rice wine. We also went there last year, but we didnt go all the way to the top then. This year we did, and our legs was shaking a bit upon descent. This time of year, they have just finished harvesting, so the terraces are all empty and dried out. As you can see on the picture, it is a little foggy here at the moment.
Tommorrow we will head to Beijing, and then to Yanji where we will spend the last week in China. I look forward to treat myself with delicious spicy Korean food, when we get up there.
