Travelling around China has been the most exhausting, sweaty and occasionally beautiful month but it has also been the most relentless and active month with endless hiking to explore cities and mountains and commuting to get around such a massive country. Today was a welcome change with a chance to chill out around the hostel and the busy high street without any demanding treks or tedious travelling. Our hostel also has a pool which I have been craving to cool off in ever since steeping off the plane in Beijing and instantly melting into a sweaty, suffering soul.
