My Second Glass Bridge in China. This why you should try them out.

OMG OMG OMG

Not far from the North Korean border is a HuanRen (桓仁) a small county of Benxi (本溪) in Liongning China.

I was invited to go on a tour by school I worked for in the past. It was teachers and staff. Of the 37 people who came only 4 were men, so many women. This school has 3 locations so I hadn’t really even met most of them before. I certainly had no idea there were so many teachers.

It started with a boat ride up a river. I had never experienced this part of China’s countryside before. This place is about a 5 hour bus ride from Dalian, luckily the school organized it all, food, hotel and transportation. I finally got to experience a Chinese group tour after 8 years being here, no I know what the hype is about, convenience.

So many stairs I had to climb. Just when I thought I was at the top, I turn a corner and more stairs. Even when I saw a sign that said ”This Way to Back Down to Dock” there were more stairs going up. The good news is I must have lost weight and I did feel like I got some good exercise.

Considering the spectacular view from the top, it was all worth it. Usually when I see China’s rural areas it’s all farmland with small villages scattered throughout. It was such a treat. I do remember living in LiShui which has so much land similar to this untouched countryside.

I should also mention it was coincidentally also my birthday. It was such a nice adventure for my birthday.

I actually, almost, didn’t feel like I was in China. It had more of a Canada feel to it. I’m so used to China being big cities with hustle and bustle. It was borderline tranquil if not for all those damn stairs. LOL
