Hanging coffins in chongqing, hunan, guizhou mountainous areas... i was around there, but didn't go. rainy days... lazy..

The country is huge, there so many interesting places to visit, many of those are not even mentioned in the books.. u juz have to give and take, and pick and go.

I was in wuyuan for almost a week..rain and sunshine, i stayed at ?? and ??. ?? is further up, straddled in a mountain valley, hard to get there unless u hired a bike to take u there, farm stay and rooms are limited, nature aircon, no restaurant, u eat with the farmer. Many other nice places around to stay too, depending on your preference. U can hire a motorbike to bring you around, not ex$, ppl are helpful.. or can go on foot, trekking from village to village. Regular buses to shanghai or hangzhou, if u miss city life, it's a good escape route.
Hope this helps.

dear all,

just came back from jiangxi. found WuYuan a nice place to relax. though it is largely black and white, it is a place definitely worth another visit, even for a short stay. i visited the big LiKeng and small LiKeng. though both places are ok, personally, found the big LiKeng more original and untouched, though things are beginning to take place and change. so, if you want glimpses of these places, better make a fast move before they are gone....

fred,.,...
