The last bit of China. (for now)

18-25.11.11

Last destination for now, only because it was close to Hanoi. There is nothing special in Nanning itself (except tle local sour rice noodles which were not that special after all) but the Guangxi province is known for the beautiful scenery. So if you are on your way from China to Hanoi, it makes a perfect last pit-stop on the way. Just be sure to jab around for the scenery. Few hours with a bus will take you to great scenic places such as the detian waterfall at the border of Vietnam.

The morning mist makes the scenery seem unreal.

I love how the elevator is simply bolted on the side of the building. This can be one way to inexpensively retrofit elevators. (although this one is probably original design)

Went to the police station to report it and hopefully insurance will cover something. Luckily all my photos were in the iCloud already <3. The thing that bothers me most is I lost my waterproof case, so I need to pick up a new canera for underwater shots 😦 Best part was I got an excuse to get a new iPhone 4s ^^

Anyway, after all it’s only stuff so I don’t care too much. It was time to visit the waterfall!

Detian waterfall, the second largest trans-national waterfall (assuming after Niagara). Btw anyone can name another trans-national waterfall, or is this also the smallest? 🙂

To tell you the truth, it was not that amazing and I got way more kicks watching Chinese tourists go crazy over it 🙂

The Viatnamise border. This lady cut me in the line for photos. I got mine 🙂

Jumping over to Vietnam

It’s a multi-level waterfall too

Awesome tilework!

Keeping busy with my iphone as always

Friday 25.11. The inevidable departure from China was at hand. Saddened but excited I head on to new explorations. I will come back here. Soon. 😉
