I wanted to spend some time in China, but I only had about a week. I wanted to get out to the countryside, but I flew into Hong Kong. I also wanted to commune with the locals, but I don't speak any Chinese. Despite the odds against me and a bit of fear, I found China quite a comfortable place to travel and relax and even a good place to venture out a bit here and there, time constraints aside. Here is my story.
