China – Reed Flute Cave in Guilin
In Guilin, I visited a beautiful cave called the Reed Flute Cave.
The cave is really nice, but I don’t recommend to visit the cave, because there is a poor old turtle inside, kind of “alive mascot”; I personally consider keeping this animal there as a torture. 🙁

While visiting the Great Wall, don’t miss the Ming Tombs – the burial site of emperors of the Ming Dynasty.
China – Cuisine
I hope nobody will be upset by this, but that’s a well known joke about Chinese cuisine…
It says that a table is the only thing with 4 legs that Chinese don’t eat.
Well, there are also other countries where people eat many “strange things”.
Anyway, for me, more interesting were some flavours…
The girl in the picture is eating ice cream that tastes like green pea,
and there are even green peas inside…
In China, I bought, by accident (!), green peas and kidney beans ice creams;
they both had beans inside;
I was really disappointed by my mistake…
China – Great Wall
The Great Wall is really great but it cannot be seen from the moon.

Was it worth it?
-YES!
I’ve visited a few different sites with the Great Wall of China, in summer and winter.
Some of them were very crowded, others quite empty;
all amazing and beautiful. 🙂
