One of the town gates of Fenghuang. Wandering around this town I thought: the magical China I imagined as a child really exists!

Deep in the lush forests of Hunan Province, by the green waters of the Tuo River, lies the ancient city of Fenghuang. Pretty wooden stilt houses, medieval streets, relaxed coffee houses with great views... Also a bonus: very few foreign tourists.

The Sun Pagoda and Moon Pagoda on Shanhu Lake in Guilin. They don't look very historic to me, but they're pretty in an Instagram kind of way, and the tourists love them!

Longsheng rice terraces at Dazhai. The area not only has great views, but also a certain faux-Alpine rural charm. Although we were completely lost for most of the day and missed the last bus to the city, this was one of my favourite days in the whole trip!

Once upon a time, possibly, Yangshuo was a little town surrounded by superb scenery. The scenery is still there, but the little town has been replaced by a loud, aggressive, mercantile tourist hub, mostly aimed at locals. The kitsch, the bad food, the blaring music! I loved it!

The Terracotta Warriors are displayed at their original site, which is covered by this massive hangar (and two smaller ones), and which is still being excavated. Apparently, thousands of statues are still to see the light of day. Very exciting!
