Guilin and Yangshuo
We were in Guilin the last two days together with Arjen. Today we took a boat from Guilin to Yangshuo where Adrienne and I will stay until the 7th (Arjen went back to Shanghai today). Strangly shaped mountains with even stranger names such as “Camel Mountain”, “Solitary Beauty Peak”, “Nine Horses Painting Hill”, form a very nice landscape.
The Chinese are very creative when it comes to making up names for things. Tourist information brochures would for example talk about “beautiful little bright pearls from heaven, like galaxies, dancing in the sky”, where in Holland we would just call them damn rain drops…
The weather isn’t that great, it is a bit foggy and we even had some bright pearls from heavon today. I hope it will get better in the following days because we will rent bikes and go around in the landscape.
