A stones throw from Hunan
Monday morning and we snake our way along the ever lengthening tentacles of the; China Industrial Expansion. Hunan and Hubei provinces are seeing industrial expansion migrating from (expensive) Guangdong. In 2010 there will be a High speed train from Central Hubei to Guangzhou. Needless to say there is a lot of Lorry (truck) traffic on the roads:

On the way back, dry weather with some sun peeking through. Once you get past Guangzhou, heading NE, you pass through farmlands framed by picturesque mountains.

It is very green, I guess the time of year has alot to do with that. When we were there with you in October 06, I don't remember quite as much deep green color. Visualy interesting for you on a long drive.
Love me
As the surrounding mountains trap migrating clouds, this long valley forms a natural water trap. At elevation they even get some snow and this run-off feeds the rice and vegetable fields. Ignoring the rice paddies, it’s much like Scotland…
Good to see that your world travels have given you such a variety of scenery from Scotland. haha!
