A Great Weekend Get Away

High in the Yandang mountains, as I dipped my feet in the cold, crystal clean waters, I knew that I have found a bit of China many foreigners ignore. At best as foreigners we scurry to Guiling, Li Jiang or Tibet, thinking that this is where China’s real natural beauty is explored.

We do so however out of ignorance. Less than seven hours from Shanghai, eight hours from Wuxi, and seventy kilometers from Wehzhou, the Yandang AAAA Grade National Tourist Area offers natural beauty that compares favorably to national parks in Canada or the United States, and anything that I have seen in China.
