Guilin in Guangxi Province.Today is Chinas Birthday. The first of October 1949, Chairman Mao Zedong proclaimed the Peoples Republic of China.
In Hong Kong this will be celebrated with a big party with a huge fireworks at Victoria Harbour at 8 PM.
I doubt we will be going to see that though. Imagine more than 1 million people trying to get there and get a spot with a good view.
We’ve done this before, once from a restaurant just at the waterfront, and once on a Party Junk direct on the water in that very same Victoria Harbour.
Instead to celebrate this Birthday, I decided to post some pictures from some of our travels to “the mainland”, as it is called here in the “Special Administrable Region” of Hong Kong.
No doubt that there are many issues about China that can be discussed and things that should be improved, but one thing I would like to mention; travelling in and through this huge nation is exciting and there is one thing to mention, one thing where China as a travel destination beats the most of the Western countries; It is still a very safe place to travel.
