I've been here just over a week and I can't tell you how incredible this place is. You really just have to come and see for yourself.
I will say that the drivers are insane though, at least in Yunnan.
I would like you to tell me, if possible, how clean the surroundings are if you go somewhere that is not posh/is a little bit lower socioeconomic. It's something I have wondered about.
I mean, I've seen a fairly good cross section of stuff. The city proper, rural areas, roadside restaurants in bumfuck nowhere. It all seems very clean on the whole. There are bins everywhere and lots of street sweepers. One thing that really struck me is the lack of any roadside rubbish.
There have been a few dire public toilets, but nothing as bad as what I see in the UK. And to be fair most of them were immaculate.
Obviously I've seen just a small chunk of Yunnan but if say that what I've seen bodes well for the rest of the country, assuming the other provinces take the same sort of sanitation measures.
The bits I’ve seen of Liaoning province are supremely clean too. It’s really something else. I think I could spend the rest of my life vacationing in China and never see half of the beauty, either natural or man made.
Thank you
