Nice beer, nice view: Wuxu Hai, Jiulong, Sichuan


Wuxu Hai, Jiulong, Sichuan, originally uploaded by jiulong.

I've posted a whole lot more pictures of my recent trip to Wuxu Hai over the Golden Week of 1 May. I didn't get to Sanyanlong or Mundon, partly because of bad weather and mostly because I felt really sick with altitude sickness this time round.
