Countryside at last

Today, after catching the local bus 3 times - we eventually ended in the right place to take a connecting bus out to the village of Jiangtouzhou. A little old ex policeman escorted us to the next bus stop and drew us a little map. So kind!

Jiangtouzhou is a small village out in the countryside away from the hustle and bustle of the cities! The scenery was gorgeous and it was interesting to see the local people going about their harvesting in the fields. A lovely spot!

We returned to Guilin and walked to some wonderful pagodas and watched people swimming in the famous Li river...

We ate Chinese fast food in the evening at a local stall. Basically, you choose your ingredients, they stir fry it and you eat it before Christine can!
