Dorm Area of the Shanghai Captain International Youth Hostel 上海船长国际青年旅社
Tunxi was a pleasant place to stay in. I especially loved staying at the Huangshan Old Street International Youth Hostel because of its great facilities and very helpful staff. However, it was time to leave, the previous night I purchased bus tickets out of Tunxi from the hostel. They would come to pick us up so I don’t have to worry about getting from one place to another. I don’t know if it will be any cheaper if I got the ticket myself. Hopefully, it won’t take me a very long time to get there.

I was all alone again, since the British guy left the night before. However, was seated next to an elderly French gentleman who was quite talkative. Apparently, his son lives in China and he is on vacation to visit him. It would seem that he is actually much more fit than I was, as he described having seen prettier sunrises than the one I saw in Huangshan. He is fond of hiking and has been to a lot of places in China and has come back several times.

Our trip would take us around six hours to complete. It was using the highway so we were moving very fast. We would stop once in a while for toilet breaks and one for lunch. It was probably one of the fastest meals I’ve ever had for fear of being left behind by the bus. Along the highway, I saw how the houses changed from Huizhou style to something more.. different. Only when we reached the city that we started seeing high rises and it is on to another new destination.
