"nanping in china" Nanping by pbulmer

moving downriver in wu mountain park inland of nanping city about 3 hour drive,i am the only western person within hundreds of miles , most of the locals have only seen us on television.

stop and stare

you will often find yourself the focal point of local interest as you walk around the city, there is some exposure to the west , but very few europeans have been seen in the city, quite often on my trips here i am the only non aisian in the city

fetch and carry

the life for the unskilled population is hard, and most labouring tasks are carried out by the female population.

• Pros:cheap to do everything
• Cons:dirty , food takes some getting used to
• In a nutshell:real china, no glitz like bejing or shanghi
