8 Days China Trip

We went for an 8 Days Nanning/Detian Waterfall/Scenic Guilin/Longsheng + Merryland tour from 13 to 20 Dec. We were on the coach most of the time, averaging 4-5 hours of travelling time a day. The longest was a 9-hr trip (to and fro) to Detian Waterfall which is the largest transnational waterfall in Asia, and was located between the border of China and Vietnam.




This is the Longsheng Terraced Fields - the Champion of the terraced field in the world. We visited the Zhuang minority village and had lunch served by the local villagers.


We went to the Merryland Theme Park, and took many fun rides, which were quite similar to those in Genting Highlands.

During the long coach rides, we passed our time by playing computer games. We had to remember to charge our notebook whenever we were in the hotels.

In Lipu - the Silver Limestone Cave.

An unforgettable part of the trip was the toilet breaks. Some of the toilets were very smelly and dirty without flushing system and had no doors. Only the toilets in the hotel rooms were the cleanest.
