Woo, another China exploration blog in another part of China that shows the natural beauty of China despite the modern infrastructure set about (in many ways aided by it since we get to see it!). Also set in a place that I think hasn't been covered by any of Steemit yet: Wuyi mountains (武夷山)! Posts like these are not only a God Send to see other parts of the World at the comfort of home or work, but helps demystify other countries and makes it possible to see what common news tends to not report on (lest they're serious on the "on the ground" reporting). So let's get to the post!
First signs are a big thing for China, especially when they get it right or make clear what's what with their signs (even their citizens, like tourists, need to be able to get through life!). Interesting you choose the narrow path, I wouldn't mind it being somewhat crowded on those less difficult and bigger berth areas, more conversations to be had... and probably a faster speed to not annoy people behind me. To make a short pitstop, gotta love how countries outside the Global North (it's still found in the "Western" parts of the World as well) and in the Global Periphery manage to fit in both styles of toilets. Makes it cutesy and funny at the same time. To go back to the sign part again: I actually took the time to read the Chinese as well, since I am mainly trying to read and understand Chinese right now; might make the effort to do something with China in the future, who knows :p
To get unto the post proper itself now: I must say I was just glossing over and having hearts for eyes with each and every picture. Feeling the queasiness of stepping down, the crowding up of both tourists and citizens, the awe of nature in the 武夷山 area and modern infrastructure with the past infrastructure at the same time. Especially with that massive foto (photo) to text ration, definitely flexing on those other travel blogs and telling them to step up their game if they post it on Steemit. Otherwise, whenever yah did speak, it felt not only appropriately lengthed for the post's general form but also how descriptive it was despite length! I loved the history bit on the names, culture and the greenscape (Nature) for the 武夷山 honestly. Also that monkey bit was just so: (>~<). Just so god dosh cute to read about and then seeing the baby monkey foto (photo) was like: <3 . Anywho, that natural pitstop is the magic of people who actually put in the time and care to make pitstops for resting while looking at (yet not copying) how past structures manage to carry themselves in that fashion. On the Wuyi temple (which I must say the path to and the temple itself is very beautiful and nothing short of what I expect for Confucian architecture at all), the link referencing something is broken. Might want this extra " to help finish it up some we can see what word was actually highlighted matey! Anyways, the return back to the city is definitely a refreshing sight after being taken in awe of the middle kingdom and how it carried out things both politically, economically (just look at the work put into the temples!) and culturally. Also Chinese New Year dancers, one of the best things to see in China if one gets the chance to.
