Wushu mountains and Little Three Gorges area

Yesterday I came home to Chongqing from trip to Wushu mountains and Little Three Gorges area. This area is located in north east part of Chongqing province.

After about six hours drive through countryside we arrived to Wanzhou city where we spent our first night in a hotel. Next morning we continued driving to Wuxi old town and Wushan along mountain roads. Interesting places on the way ... misty mountains, old and new architecture, street life in towns and villages, coffins placed high up on steep mountain slopes, green rivers, coal fields, salt water running out from cliffs, orange fields and many more bright colored oranges to be sold along the road. The color of oranges was like a shining sun, accent color in otherwise greyish and brownish landscape.

On sunday morning we travelled with a small boat along Daning river. It was really cold but it was so beautiful views that I forgot that I was freezing. It was really amazing, adventurous boat trip. The boat was ice cold, worn and with cracked glass panes. Now and then the boat crashed with stones and 'raised the value of the adventure'. Travellers in the boat was our small group of foreigners, some Chinese tourists and some local people travelling from one place to another with the boat.

Some Chinese people say that if you have visited Huanshan = Yellow mountains in Anhui province, you will not have desire to see other mountains any more. Well, I have seen Huanshan and still can be impressed by Wushan mountains.

One month left, Uppdating my website and Working on my blog

About one month is left of my stay in Chongqing, southwest China. I will leave Chongqing 14th january 2011 and stay couple days in Beijing before I fly home to Stockholm, Sweden 16th of january 2011. I want to see Forbidden city again. I booked room in nice hotel in Beijing and hope to have pleasant stay there before I leave China. I see forward to take a nice bath in bathtub ...

I have not been having time and energy to uppdate my blog for a while but today I have put some new photos from my trip to Beijing about month ago. I also made uppdate for my web site www.creativerooms.se so now one can read some information in english. I hope to be able to uppdate with chinese version soon.

Last weekend I visited Dazu county with some friends and saw magnificent buddhist stonecarvings in caves ... Sleeping Buddha etc. It was beautiful place and worth a visit.
