Guilin and Yangshuo, Guangxi, China

We were getting up at 6am and only return back to the hotel at no earlier than 11pm. Doing this for the past 5 days was definitely no joke. Here are some shots from the most tiring trip ever (also one with the most number of mountains climbed, caves explored, rivers/lakes cruised):







Zhang Yimous's 印象·刘三姐 - the world largest natural theater. The waters of Li jiang is used as its stage, and the twelve mist shrouded hills as its backdrop. The setting was magnificent, and with 600 performers it cannot be any less impressive than you can imagine. I was equally impressed (and more entertained) by the ballet circus drama, Dreamlike Lijiang. The acrobatics were jaw dropping. I thought I saw a show at this theater 10 years ago. It's superb performance (sadly, pictures not allowed).












P said, his impression of China changed after this trip. If you ask me, in comparison with the Guilin I visited 10 years ago, the streetscape and urban development is a clear indication how fast the city has developed. Plus, the overall toilet cleanliness is much better than before (all that I have visited this time round came with flush system and full length door).

Next stop: Mdm would like to visit Xi'an!
