After the Peak, we reluctantly decided it was time to end our Hong Kong journey and head to Guangzhou to move into our apartments. We took a two-hour train ride that brought us from from Hong Kong into mainland China. I was expecting to see countryside, but was totally mistaken. There were massive buildings nearly the whole way to GZ. The train ride was pleasant, but getting through customs was not. It took us about an hour and a half to get through customs but luckily we had no issues when all was said and done. As we left the train station, we had about 10 volunteers from the Asian Games walk with us along with a police escort to our van. We felt like pretty special.

Hey guy,
Dave Jr told me about your blog. Read all of your posts...very cool. I've been to HK quite a number of times doing an acq & as a tourist. A great place...very civilized. Been to all the places you noted.
All of S China is hot, swampy w/ bad air but things should cool off now w/ some rain. Maybe you can go to Macau on your next trip. I never made it to GZ, only as far as Shunde up the Pearl a ways.
Chinese are amazing, aren't they. All is on such a huge scale w/ new alongside old.
Keep it coming!
DAS Sr
