We have finally materialized the holiday to Zhang Jia Jie that we planned 8 months ago.
It was a 7 days 6 nights trip from 4/4 till 11/4, with stops at Macau, and Guang Zhou.
Our ticket was with budget airlines to Macau. We crossed the border to Zu Hai, took a 2.5 hours bus to GuangZhou. We spent the afternoon in GuangZhou, taking night train to Zhang Jia Jie. It was a long travel with 14 hours on train. As we did not get soft bedded seats, it was a truly unforgetable uncomfortable journey especially for two poor guys who took the beds at the top (and i was one of them :))
Despite the bumpy and sleepless journey, we enjoyed the remaining three days in ZJJ jungle park. What was needed then was good strength on both legs and also a good camera.
We spent 4 days in ZJJ, 2 days in Fong Huang old Town (a Miao settlement). View at Fong Huang Old town was just amazing with lots of ancient time buildings and also witnessing the living styles of the residents at riverside.
Our remaining 1.5 days was in GuangZhou - with nothing but shop and shop and eat.
I probably have forgotten to mention that our tour there was with 4 other friends and we were on our own without joining any tour group.
Some pictures for your viewing pleasure.
