Outside the Hustle and Bustle

For being the most densely populated place on Earth, Hong Kong has a lot of green space, a lot of hiking, and can be quite relaxing depending where you go and when you go there.

The Place of the ¥20 Note

May 1st in China is a big deal.  The Spring Festival sees many Chinese traveling all around the country.  This year, Eva and I decided to be one of the horde and traveled from Hong Kong to Yangshuo to see one of China's most famous landscapes.  We stayed in the small town of Xingpingzhen where the picture for the back of the 20 Yuan note was made.  The limestone peaks that dot the landscape are incredible and make you feel as small as can be.
