Home stretch

After a whole month of rambling among minority villages in SE Guizhou, we are now making our way back to Shanghai via Fenghuang, a scenic ancient watertown and tourist mecca in Hunan Province.

On the 11th, we will take a 2hr bus ride to Huaihua and then a 20-hour train ride to Shanghai in 1st Class Sleeper Coach (called Soft Sleeper in China).

Typical long distance bus pickup in Guizhou. Just stand by the side of the road and flag down the bus. This guy was headed the opposite direction from us.
