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.
