Pu'er tea, Kunming
DAISY | Kunming | 5/19/2004 4:34:19 PM

As each region has its own specialty, different region has different type of tea. Kunming's Pu'er tea is very famous!
In Kunming, you will find different kind of tea from all over China, but here please focus on the local flavour -Pu'er, BanTianYao and QiYeDan.

Look for the tea "discus" and "bricks". These are Pu'er tea compressed into shapes of discus or bricks. Good souvenirs.

About RMB350 or so for 500g of tea, depending on type and grade.

Don't bring a camera or any
DAISY | Xi'an | 5/18/2004 4:01:43 PM

Don't bring a camera or any filming devices into the buried army grounds. Those devises are forbidden. If you try to take a picture or use a video camera and get caught, then you will get into trouble. The authorities will demand that you turn over your camera film or your whole camcorder tape over since they prohibit those devices inside. I saw some tourists get in trouble for that...Actually, It was me!! :-/

Do remember take the gloves and the umbrella.
Gloves: to protect your hands from the rusted chain.
Umbrella: to prevent the strong wind when you are waiting for the sunrise on the peak.
Of course, overcoat and some warm cloth are necessities.

Guilin to Yangshuo
DAISY | Guilin | 4/21/2004 12:01:19 PM

The most convenient means to Yangshuo from Guilin is bus. The bus will pick you up at the southern part of Guilin Railway Station. About every 10-15 minutes one bus. And it only costs RMB10 per person. The last one would leave at 21:30 pm.
