The third day of our China Trip<\/a> we took a train to Fu Rong. But first we had breakfast in our hotel. A nice hotel, friendly staff, but the breakfast was a bit simple. After two times noodles, we had a few equally simple plain pau with a glass of soy milk and an egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A taxi took us to the Zhang Jia Jie railway station. A big, modern station, with a McDonald’s, where we had coffee and snacks to supplement the meager hotel breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a large number of massage chairs and we had time enough to try one out. The massage was strong, sometimes almost painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The high-speed train (300 km\/h) took us in 23 minutes to Fu Rong, a distance of 80 km. You have to book seats in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the station we took a taxi to Fu Rong Ancient Town. where we had booked our hotel. You have to pay an entrace fee for this town, even when you stay there. A hotel staff took us from the entrance on a short walk to the hotel and showed us our room. A room with a view! Aric had found the only room in town with a spectacular view of the waterfalls that made the town famous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine, I took this video from our hotel room window. I was stunned and almost got a bit emotional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
