Good morning guys!
Today I am going to be exploring the Wuzhi Mountains, and - I'm actually already here!
Fancy and I took a bus this morning.
- Yeah - It was about 2 hours outside of Meizhou, And we are also here with her friend.
So we're all going to be exploring the mountain today.
And... let's go.
Fancy didn't even have to duck!
Oh my gosh, this place is so awesome!
This is the path that goes on.
You can see the forest down there, mountains.
You know what this seems like, is um, if you watched the Lord of the Rings movies
which I did - this is like Lothlorien with all of the twisted, kind of fairytale-like railings,
and then these breathtaking views of the forest!
This place is just absolutely magical!
It has been really cool hanging out with Fancy's friends here, for this trip.
They can't really speak English.
Somehow, we just manage to communicate, which is cool.
They asked what am I doing in China, Fancy answered that I'm on YouTube,
and they actually haven't heard of YouTube, of Google, Facebook.
Just makes you think, what in their culture would they be saying
"Oh my gosh, she doesn't even know about that at all??
Wow!"
Once you get to the end, you have an option to come up a bunch of stairs
all the way up here, and see the view.
Which we did!
Funnily enough though, the views, I think, are better from the actual pathways, when you're walking on them.
But this is still pretty cool.
We have now gotten down from up there, so awesome.
Now we're going to walk through a place on the ground called Royal Valley.
And Fancy says it's really really awesome, she won't tell me any more than that.
But, right now we're walking through... the jungle, basically.
I feel like it's The Jungle Book right now.
There are all of these vines, and even the vines are covered in moss.
I feel like such a jungle explorer!
We have gotten to this narrow passageway through the mountains.
And it is absolutely covered in green moss, lit up in the sunlight.
Oh my gosh, it is SO amazing!
It goes all the way up...
This is so insane.
If I didn't feel like a jungle explorer before, I definitely do now.
Now, we are going to another part of this park, which is apparently huge,
and we can't even see all of it!
He said - he said that there is a place where there's pathways and walkways
that are made of entirely glass.
Sounds cool!
We're trying to hurry though because - (thunder)
Number one, it is thundering and about to rain.
Number two, our bus that goes back into town leaves in like 45 minutes.
And we're really far away from the entrance.
So we don't want to get left here!
Because it's the last one.
Ah, so many stairs!
So yeah.
We'll see what this glass pathway is.
Probably a glass pathway.
Oh my gosh, it's raining SO hard!
I hope we can still make it!
Going back.
It's crazy rain!
So, we got caught in the rain.
All wet now.
And now it's stopped.
But we didn't go on the thing.
Fancy's mom has invited us to go on a walk with her.
The town is so beautiful right now.
We're actually on the outskirts of town, isn't that right?
- Yep.
There's all these bats flying around right now, all these lights
that are just starting to turn on.
The friend that went with us to the mountain today,
he's coming on his motorcycle somewhere around here to pick us up.
I guess it'll be three people on the motorcycle.
- Yeah...
Good morning again guys!
- Hello, morning!
We are up pretty early, we are going to a neighboring little town that's by Meizhou.
It is called Meishin.
I said it right!
- She's a good learner.
Lovely rice field walking again, love waking up and walking by this every morning.
Looking forward to another good day.
Fancy and I are in the market right now.
It is so colorful, and so much going on, there's bikes going by, everywhere.
Pretty loud.
And everything is so brightly colored.
People are looking.
Everyone, they want to buy vegetables, meats, here - everything.
I love the colors and vibrancy of these markets.
So cool.
Always love walking around places like this.
Alright, we're going to go have breakfast, and then go to the town.
This bread is just heavenly.
On the outside, kind of harder, and then on the inside all fluffy.
It's called yo-tian.
And it is just heaven in bread form.
I will buy a hundred.
On the bus now, about to be on our way.
It's about a 1 hour drive outside of Meizhou.
We have gotten into Meishin.
Fancy is now taking me to the first place she wants to show me.
We're in a taxi.
I'm excited to walk around and just explore, like, just walk.
We don't even have to go to a particular place - ooh, look at this!
We are walking!
This street has so many trees, it's so pretty.
I love it!
I really love it here.
So, the first thing that I noticed about here is that it's more crowded, it's more like
an actual city than Meizhou where we were before.
There's all of these bikes going by, definitely a lot more traffic.
A lot more going on.
Just in general, more of a city feel, which I'm actually loving.
And bright lights on the shops and everything like that.
We've been walking on this road with the trees, it is so so beautiful.
It's called Bai-Hua, and I am just absolutely in love with it.
Now we are going to be taking another taxi.
Taxis here are super cheap, they're like a dollar or two, that's it.
So we can just take taxis all day and not really have to worry about it.
Thank you.
We have now come over to another area of town that is kind of a little crazier,
and there's all these shops, people selling things, tons of bikes going by.
On our way back.
Didn't have that much time, but maybe I'll get to come back sometime in the near future.
Fancy and I are out walking at night.
It's really vibrant and all these lights on at night.
This girl is walking beside me for like so long now, and she's carrying balloons.
- Hello!
I like your ballons.
- This?
I like.
- Uh.....
- Good.
Good morning guys.
It is my last day in Meizhou, so getting ready to leave.
I think that Fancy and I are going to go and walk around the rice fields around here, because
we never ended up doing that.
It's really early in the morning, so perfect time to do that.
I just saw the sunrise on Fancy's roof.
On our way.
Got all the stuff.
Walking past the gorgeous rice fields for the last time, until I come back, anyway.
Loved waking up to these every morning.
They are definitely not in Shenzhen!
Bye, beautiful rice fields!
