The night was short and the journey as the aircraft Kunming (昆明) - Guilin (?) Is just 1 hour. Matthew gave me the address of the seedy hotel where I must join him. After an hour of lamentation to find the right road, I arrived at last. Guilin disappoints me a little at first because I expected a city more picturesque than that ... is actually a very modern city, tall buildings everywhere, it is like almost in Dalian! First thing we did was went to a cafe to find nice places to visit. After we identify, we finally decided to go hiking in the mountains of Longsheng (?)! We want a bus, we find s'engueulent drivers, passengers, too, finally we are left with 2 Chinese families in a mini-bus while tight. The worst is that the journey will take about 1h30!

Once there, you find yourself a bit lost ... there are no small villages, but some houses lost. After that, only the mountains all around. How come back then? It had not really thought about it. But in any case, here there is nothing to return! It already feels adventure ...


Finally, we decided to follow the 2 Chinese families (two pairs each with one child) who seem to know what they do. The landscape is beautiful, they are everywhere crops of rice terraces. We did not know really, but this is the place of China to observe! It passes through many small villages here by a small primary school (mmm, that it is the largest university of the corner but I doubt it), and a Chinese p'tit stung me my bottle of water to drink it, I too understand why, but who knows, it is he thinks he is drinking the holy grail ...


It all starts to feel a little hungry. There is a pause in this small village, and residents take us mandarins without being asked, cool! We walked a little in the village, you climb into the houses ... nothing really special, it's really old stuff in wood without it, one really wonders how people are to live here.


We then proposes pennies for us to warm noodles with chunks of meat inside. We also tasted a homemade beer ... white as milk. Impressive, carbide and it is super strong! Beer sick!



The sun was soon to fall on the rice. Many sets of lights, a sky that hesitates between pink, blue, purple ... The area is definitely great fun! But with Matthew begins to wonder where we will sleep ... they all have big bags filled well, probably sleeping bags and we were there ...


Finally, we arrive at a village a little larger than those below, and then there's the hotel! Finally large hostels. First come, first-serve! For 6 euros per room with shower inside, the luxury ... the view is magnificent, the room also, a nice TV, a warm wood! We're really happy to have left behind Guilin.
