Kam's HaungShan Trip

HuangShan Trip (Nov. 2001)

In progress very slowly.

Why? Where?

Xi'an trip has ignited my travel genes. I should travel while I still can. So into the mainland I go again.

Where to? Ok, to
1) probably THE most beautiful mountain in China - HuangShan,
2) HangZhou,
3) YiXing - I have been selling teapots for years and been drinking tea for over a year. I know it's somewhere on the route and there is no excuse not to go on a pilgrimage to this holy land of teapot.
