Our stories from China, in the order we travelled, starting in Chongqing.
ChinaChongqingLeg one · Chongqing
Our first stop in China: a city stacked on top of itself, where the streets are empty at six and unwalkable at nine, and where a stranger buys your breakfast for no reason at all.
ChinaZhangjiajieLeg two · Hunan
Three days in the Avatar mountains, where the park scans your face instead of your ticket, lunch cooks itself on a bench, and the monkeys take a close interest in whatever is in your bag.
ChinaFurong and FenghuangLeg three · Hunan
Two ancient towns in the rain: one built around a waterfall in flood, one where people actually live, with frogs for dinner, scorpions on sticks and a llama keeping a tea shop company.
