Gulang Yu
Tomorrow take the overnight bus to Hong Kong so have to face another city.Would be easy to stay here longer if I wasn’t so lazy to find a better hotel as I like the place. Very laid back and plenty of charm and must be doing something right as certainly pulling the tourists in even in mid winter. Just nice to wander around getting lost. With its old buildings in varying states of repair, ancient trees and colourful gardens its kind of cute, a few degrees warmer and even the beach would be tempting. Theres even a few sites to see but I am a lousy tourist and ankle giving problems so easier to just relax and watch the world go by. And don’t they love doing their wedding photos here, someone is doing good business. Mao mustbe turning in his grave, all these girls in western flowing white wedding dresses with a backdrop of the old british consulate. All a long way from the cultural revolution !. The place has a good future and as more buildings are restored will surely only improve. Good place and good seafood.
