We arrived in Zhenyuan immediately following Sisters' Rice Festival. Zhenyuan seemed like the opposite from the festival: plenty of comfortable lodging, quiet, beautiful setting...
We decided to stay for a few days, while Sun-Ling tried to sleep off her cold.
Sun-Ling resting on our hotel room's balcony. That's an historic group of temples across the way.
Sun-ling not resting but walking along the old city wall, refered to locally as the Miao Great Wall of China.
The old quarter in foreground and newer, but still old, quarter at back.
The old bridge on a foggy morning.
Shrine to Grandfather Earth.
Sun-Ling and John have been traveling the earth since 2008 while blogging, eating vegetarian and vegan, and riding public transportation. We love uphill day hikes, 20th-century architecture, Roman ruins, all bodies of water, local markets, shopping for groceries, aqueducts, miradors, trip planning, blablacar, and more.
