Great report as always Chris!

So nice to see China still has many lovely countryside. Even Old building alongside the new.
Wish my boss will send me to places like these but i guess its very tiring as well.

The food you said was not nice is it because the taste not suited to Malaysian or just awful?

Dun get me wrong, the food is good. Jus that when u r invited to eat the same thing too many times, bit boring...
Jus prefer to try som other fd is permitted

it's hot... I sweat all the days there when ever I stay outdoor
6am + also hot already!!!

Tiring for sure... But I still very njoy... I woke up 6am to walk to park while my colleagues still dreaming
I open my eyes to look at windows n chat with driver while my colleague sleeping at the back

everytime late afternoon when my boss n colleague go bac to rest at hotel I will explore places nearby hotel

Chris,

U apparently missed the rivers & streams of Guilin, claimed to be the best in China.  ;D

China is still my favourite holiday destination considering the affordability,...but RMB is rising. Better visit more places early.
