Arrived in Yangshuo, China

We arrived in Yangshuo, China two weeks ago. It is a small tourist town nestled between rivers and surrounded by karst mountains. Thanks to Hongying for recommending the area!

We are staying a condo two miles from the tourist district in town, but we walk there every few days.

A few days ago, the kids and I passed through Yangshuo park, which is one of the liveliest, non-tourist parks that we have seen while traveling. Every table was full of older people playing cards, there were multiple groups doing exercise dancing or Tai Chi, and every 40 feet or so there was someone loudly singing into a mic with speakers.

We hiked up a karst (or lumps as we call them) to a pavilion for the view below.

We are not doing a lot of classes here. I tried to talk the kids into Tai Chi, but they were not interested. So we took one course of Mandarin and one class of pottery. I bought them a basketball so that I can send them out to the court in our apartment complex.

Below is the view from our apartment.

We spent a night in Hong Kong on our way to Yangshuo, which gave us enough time in the morning to visit a viewpoint and take a walk.
