Travel guides during the COVID-19 pandemic


As the COVID-19 scare waned and restrictions were lifted in late spring, my helper disappeared and work in the garden stopped. Whit an increased free time and wanting to do something more useful then waste time on social media, a "miniguide" series was started. Titled "Amazing Vistas Miniguides", these little but informative ebooks were to present hikes in little-known but stunningly beautiful places. Five miniguides were finished, and there are a few more drafts at different levels of completion. Those that are done and ready feature places in Laos and Myanmar. The timing wasn't the best, but I was optimistic that by autumn life would return to normal and travel would restart, and that there would be interest in these guides. I also hoped that I could go back to Asia, to explore these great locations a bit more and to discover new ones. But it seems no such luck... the second wave of the pandemic is on us now, and international travel is still not really possible. Some countries started "reopening" - meaning that wealthy tourists can spend 2 weeks in a luxury hotel. Who knows when we can really start travelling again... it really sucks. Anyway, the miniguides are here and available, maybe one day they come useful. As for now, let's prepare to sleep through the winter, maybe we'll find a better world next spring.

Leshan (very basic) tourist information with map

Image
  Many visitors come for just a few hours on a day trip from Chengdu—but that’s a mistake. You need a full day to properly visit the Leshan Giant Buddha , see it from the river, and explore the nearby Oriental Buddha Park and Wuyou Temple hill. At a leisurely pace, it could easily take two days. You can also do a day trip to Emeishan from Leshan by public bus, but in my opinion, it's better to stay overnight there—perhaps in a monastery below the Golden Summit. So, for Leshan alone, you’ll need at least one night, preferably two. The city itself is quite sprawling, modern, and tidy, but it doesn't offer many attractions. The train station is a bit far from the center, but public transport is a good option to reach both the city center and the Leshan Giant Buddha. Below are the tourist basics.

Hiking to Damian Mountain and Xingping viewpoints near Yangshuo

  On my last full day in Yangshuo, I went on another scooter trip—this time with the goal of climbing Damian Mountain, known for its iconic view of the mountains at a river bend. Across the river is Xingping, a village known for its “20 Yuan view”, and a ferry provides access. There is another great viewpoint. Further details and maps below.
