I've had an adventure today, and now I've got the mosquito situation under control in this rather comfortable room at The Riverside Hotel in Xingping. (£5 without breakfast), I'm going to try to explain how it unfolded...
I have lost my faith in Chinese maps. I set out today to ride South 43m from Guilin to Yangshou on the back roads crises crossing the river. The first bridge I came to wasn't there at all, so I talked a local into transporting me and the bike across on a little boat. He could of mentioned that after another mile the road disappeared into the water again. Or maybe he did, my Mandarin is sketchy. So I decided he must of meant that the footpath up the cliff was the way through. So I started up the path. Honestly, any steeper and it would have been impossible, several times I strained myself against the threat of falling over backwards.
