Renting a boat on Kunming Lake and having a picnic on the water was the highlight. The hour went by so fast!

We eventually used Alipay to scan a QR code on a power bank station. It had a 99 yuan deposit and worked without a local number.

Beijing was dry and hot, but Guangzhou was much more humid. It was 31°C before 10am and felt even hotter.
