After I landed and met up with Dwang for the night we ate some food and went to bed. I was pretty exhausted. I woke up and went out to get lost in the city. It was quite different from the rest of Vietnam, as the people seemed much more…

Phong Nha Ke Bang
Phong Nha Ke Bang is a large national park located just about in the middle of Vietnam. After an adventurous 12 hours bus ride from Hanoi, we got kicked out in a daze just after 6am. I grabbed a taxi with some dudes form NewFoundLand, and we headed about an…

Hanoi
After my bus ride from Nanning that turned out to be a bit better than I was expecting, I arrived and spend 3 days in Hanoi. It is the capital of Vietnam, and a really cool older city. Everyone says the vibe is very different from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh…

Things I will and will not miss about China
After 4 days of Visa nonsense in Nanning trying to secure an entry into Vietnam, I’m finally on my way. Yesterday was probably the worst day, trekking through the city to find a train ticket only to find they were sold out, and then finding a bus to take me.…

Yangshuo
Yangshuo (pronounced Young-sh-woah) like Zhangjiajie is surrounded by some very unique scenery. It is a little bit bigger than Zhangjiajie, equally as pretty, but in a different way.

First off this was probably one of the coolest places I have been here in China. The rock formations and scenery are very unique. I don’t think any other place even comes close to matching this beautiful scenery. Sure I’ve seen some great views in the Unitas, the Rocky’s and…

Chongqing, Shenzhen and Hong Kong
After missing my train because I was at the wrong station (the hostel’s fault, not mine), I rebooked a ticket for later that day. I hung around the train station and finally arrived in Chongqing just after 10pm. The hostel was located about 30 minutes outside the city in a…

Chengdu
I’m finally here! The bus ride wasn’t that bad, but wasn’t that great either. We took a smaller bus that had 25-30 seats. I was stuck in the back corner between a Chinese dude and a broken bus window. A bit of hairy driving and a very close call with…

Jiuzhaigou National Park
This was my next destination after hard decision between a quick flight or a very long train and bus ride. The difference was about 26 hours and $35 dollars, so I opted for the $35 and took the 1hr 5min flight. We left at 6am, which was quite early so…
