LOL, Guangzhou's current 'mental state'... I just can't. 😦 #Guangzhou #chinatravel.wtfActually, it's our third day, and this is the first time I've really felt any rain – and it's just starting now. We'd pretty much wrapped up our daytime activities anyway. Plus, it was so hot we opted for indoor attractions with AC.

Beijing Day 3: Officially Cooked. SOS!This afternoon, after leaving Beihai Park, I had to walk endlessly through the hutongs to get to the subway station. They were so, so, so, so long! I was about to break down. There were no share bikes anywhere, and I was absolutely exhausted.

Hangzhou Songcheng: You've Been Warned (Spoiler: It's a Trap!)All the criticisms mentioned really hit home. I initially thought it was an amusement park like Universal Studios or Disneyland. In reality, it's more of a venue with outdoor and indoor theater-style performances. You should plan your time carefully to catch as many shows as possible. The main 'Romance of the Song Dynasty' show even has a part where actresses in bikinis serve tea. As a family of three in the VIP section, that was a bit awkward. Overall, it was unremarkable – nothing terrible, but no pleasant surprises either. I wouldn't say I was disappointed; when you're traveling, you tend to check out the famous spots. The funniest thing was, halfway through, my wife remembered she'd actually been there before!
