China prodcues a sense of adventure, and intrigue in us that is relatively unmatched. One proof of this is the fact that our longest videos are from here.
With that in mind: We set out to see the hanging village Wangxian-- via 3 hour train from Shanghai. Trains are tough for us, traveling with a baby. (Even without the baby, the confiscated our power bank?!?! Said it was too big. Although, they sent it to us via express mail and we paid 19 CNY for it a few days later. Still, unexpected) Trains have aisles like planes, except you don't get to check bags. Also: in a plane you can take your time to disembark; in a train you've got to hurry or risk missing your stop. In the end, we made it, but it was a hectic moment with 2 suitcases, a bagpack, a travel crib, a large hand bag, a stroller, and a BABY!
When we checked in at our accommodation, the owner could not have been more friendly. She carried our VERY HEAVY bags up the many steps. She gave us a welcome drink and snack. Best part: her place was freshly renovated and affordable!
Wearing sandals: we set out for lunch. At this point: WE GOTTA SCREAM BECAUSE THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO RELAY THIS MESSAGE!! THE FOOD WAS SO GOOD. IT MIGHT BE THE BEST FOOD WE HAD IN CHINA!!! AND, THE LADY TO BABY JEAN TO SLEEP, WRAPPED HER IN A JACKET AND GAVE HER BACK TO US WHEN WE FINISHED EATING. THIS EXPERIENCE ALONE MAKES ME WANT TO RENT A CAR AND DRIVE ALL AROUND CHINA. I LOVE THIS LADY, HER FOOD, HER VILLAGE, AND EVERYTHING ABOUT IT ALL.
Sorry for yelling.
Finally: we arrived in the hanging village. FOR THIS I GOTTA YELL TOO no just kidding I'm hoarse already. It was great though. We were surpised at how big the village on the ground was-- even before the hanging part. China is great a building stuff to look ancient. People dress up in ancient clothes, for photoshoots. The food sellers are smart and put on a bit of a show at the front of their store. Some of the smells are intoxicting (although: no place to buy beer over there). After exploring the village, we heading up the pathways and buildings that are right on the side of a cliff!!
Our experience was great. Up and up and up we walked, never really in fear of our safety.
Once the lights come on, another experience arises. Everything in China is so beautiful at night. Everywhere you go there's very little homesless, grafitti, litter, crime. I guess sometimes night time can feel like time to go back home. In China, night time is time to admire the lights. You always feels safe-- and the lights accent the ancient-looking buildings so well. It brings a whole nother level to things.
