Yangshuo and Hong Kong

It feels like more than month since I traveled to China with the builder.

My knowledge of China was limited to a trip to Hong Kong years ago. Beyond photos of the Great Wall of China and frequent dim sum lunches while I lived in Sydney I really had no expectations. In fact they were low and in my mind I imagined everything to be engulfed by smog. That is not to say we did not visit cities cloaked in smog (because we did.) But it was quickly forgiven once you realise how much of that is a result of our western consumer driven culture for affordable goods demanded yesterday. I was aptly reminded that every action has a reaction and reaffirmed my desire to continue buying only second hand goods. But I am not going to go on that tirade…instead I have a few photos to share because China is beautiful. We were surprised by the calmness that rests in the countryside beyond those big cities. We only dipped a toe into the country but fell so in love that we will hopefully return to explore beyond Yangshuo.

I will come back with a breakdown of travelling (again!) with a no plastic aim (there were some hiccups) and our eco accommodation.
