So prepare for a long blog.
I took the 6hrs train from Nanning to Guilin. There in the Pink Flower Youth Hostel (I actually got a discount with my Thai fake student ID) I met Katja from Leipzin in my Dorm who is studying one year in Nanjing.
Guilin is surrounded by scenic limestone formations, here are some pics.

next on the program: Reed-Flute Cave
I then took the 6hr boat ride from Guilin to Yangshuo on Li river.
the rocks from the 20 yuan bill!
more from the boat
Katja joined me in Yangshuo the next day by bus and we did some sight seeing. We got bicycles and rode to the moon hill and climbed all the way to the top. On our way back to town we had a nice hot pot in a small restaurent along the road, delicious!
View over Yanghuo (144.000ppl) from my hotel's roof (serious 9th floor climbing action!)

Yanghsuo tourist business at night. This city is one of the main attractions for Chinese tourists in China.
Moon Hill. It's some 1215 steps to the hole and some more rock climbing up to the top.

about to land...
yummy hot pot
In China they eat dogs!
and poultry...
...and goat (that's the head of a pig on the left btw)...
...and about everything else that moves. From owls to frogs you can get everything (and every part of it). Yangshuo market.
Next day we parted ways after taking the bus back to Guilin. She went to the train station and I got a 1hr flight to Chongqing, a small town (city: 5 million, municipality: 31 million people) on the banks of the Yangtze, called 'the fog capital'. And it's true, you can barely see the other side of the river and the huge maze of skyscrapers and huts is a little bit frightening.
You have to imagine 40 storey apartment skyscrapers looming out of the fog above it. And they are everywhere!
Tomorrow I'll be going on a boat again but this time it's on the Yangtze and it's for 2 nights and three days! Next time I post you'll get pictures from the Three Gorges Dam! See you in Wuhan!
