We spent last weekend in the area around Mount Wuyi, a UNESCO Cultural and Natural World Heritage Site at the border of China's south-eastern Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. It can be conveniently reached by overnight train from Shanghai (8pm to 8am), and we had booked a two-day tour, so that there was a friendly local guide to take our group of ten around the area by mini bus. It was raining almost all the time during the first day (and sometimes really heavily, too), but the area is supposedly most beautiful with rain. It did make the longer hikes through the mountains impossible, though. According to the guide, there are three ways to enjoy the view from the top: Climbing up, paying someone to carry you up (in a way Kai chose that option, even though I did not get paid, but there were actually teams of two who would do that for about 200 RMB), or using your imagination. Fortunately, the weather greatly improved on the second day, so that we could enjoy a boat ride (six people and two drivers with sticks on a bamboo raft) down the river.
