Traveling in China, buying train or plane tickets, is more nerve wrecking than the stock market. Frequently, tickets are sold out quickly. There are simply too many people, buying online, lining up days ahead of time, etc. I have discovered the secret : buy standing only tickets. They are always happy to stuff you in.
That ticket will cost 1/3 of
normal. With the remainder, order lots of food, sit down in the dining car, and you’ll be sitting down, after all, with a table full of food.
Interminable wait times and long transportation between each place- today is all day traveling to Wuyi. Too early for harvest but that’s one popular and over crowded area once harvest begins in 2 weeks. Well, it’s been years. Time to see if I can get some good Rougui and Shuixian to replace the Big Red Robe/ Da Hong Pao. It’s market DHP anyway, hardly worth the price. Not a tea we are known for, but let’s see if anyone is doing anything interesting and not all the inflated market stuff. And no, not a fan of 金俊眉 Golden Eyebrows tea. Have yet to meet one that’s special.
Traveling in China is really, really strenuous. Chaotic, messy, unorganized, packed with people everywhere, systems that make no sense. Not recommended for anyone.
