More than a fifth of the world's population live within China's
borders, and at times it seems as though they're all camped out at Beijing Station.
There is so much to see and do in China, and I always prefer to travel
by train.
You will need at least four to six weeks to do the country any
justice, and if you have the time to use your full three month visa, all the better.
Some travellers even get permission to extend their visa, it all
depends on the mood of the official, or your willingness to pay for the services of one of
their agents.
The Bureau for Foreigners is a newer form of corruption in the open.
Despite the official stamp of approval, bargaining in these offices is not uncommon.
China has changed a lot since I first visited the country in 1988,
some of it not for the better.

Guilin derives its name from the Osmanthus trees found all over
the city.
The main reason for a visit to Guilin though is to get out of the city
and view the limestone peaks on the way to Yangshou and along the Li River.
