Travel with Winter in Asia

Yingtan Train Station, waiting for the connecting train to Kali

Some of my friends think I must be crazy to visit so many places in such a short period of time. But I really enjoy the feeling of constantly moving around, saying goodbye to the new friends, and after a train ride everything are new to me again. And the best part is the weather in the next destination is almost always warmer as I am travelling southward. I spent considerable amount of time on the railway, and after one month I started to mastering everything around it. From getting the cheap ticket, picking the right (read: comfortable, yet affordable) train to brave enough to jump into a train with no ticket at all (that's another story). But I am still very amazed that there are so many people on so many trains around the clock.






In last few days I visited Huangshan, probably the most famous mountain around Chinese. I personally think it is overrated, or perhaps I am getting used to the scenic? May I say the mountains range and natural scenic in Canada are more superior in many ways... Anyhow, I like the city of Huangshan, and the small vilages around. People are very nice and I found a decent restaurant that I visited three times in two days, and the waitresses started to notice and asked where I came from...


Huang Shan, famous for its foggy weather















Xidi, a charming village
