China produces a sense of adventure and intrigue in us that is relatively unmatched. One proof of this is the fact that our longest videos are from here. We set out to see the hanging village Wangxian—via a 3-hour train from Shanghai. Trains are tough for us, traveling with a baby. Trains have aisles like planes, except you don't get to check bags. Also: in a plane you can take your time to disembark; in a train you've got to hurry or risk missing your stop. In the end, we made it, but it was a hectic moment with 2 suitcases, a backpack, a travel crib, a large handbag, a stroller, and a BABY! When we checked in at our accommodation, the owner could not have been more friendly. She carried our VERY HEAVY bags up the many steps. She gave us a welcome drink and snack. Best part: her place was freshly renovated and affordable! Wearing sandals, we set out for lunch. At this point: WE GOTTA SCREAM BECAUSE THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO RELAY THIS MESSAGE!! THE FOOD WAS SO GOOD. IT MIGHT BE THE BEST FOOD WE HAD IN CHINA!!! AND, THE LADY TOOK BABY JEAN TO SLEEP, WRAPPED HER IN A JACKET AND GAVE HER BACK TO US WHEN WE FINISHED EATING. THIS EXPERIENCE ALONE MAKES ME WANT TO RENT A CAR AND DRIVE ALL AROUND CHINA. I LOVE THIS LADY, HER FOOD, HER VILLAGE, AND EVERYTHING ABOUT IT ALL. Sorry for yelling. Finally: we arrived in the hanging village. It was great though. We were surprised at how big the village on the ground was—even before the hanging part. China is great at building stuff to look ancient. People dress up in ancient clothes, for photoshoots. The food sellers are smart and put on a bit of a show at the front of their store. Some of the smells are intoxicating (although: no place to buy beer over there).
JetLag Warriors' latest adventure takes them to Wangxian, a hanging village in China, accessible by a three-hour train ride from Shanghai. Despite the challenges of train travel with a baby, including a confiscated power bank, they arrived safely. Their warm welcome included friendly hosts who carried their luggage and provided refreshments. The food was exceptional, a highlight of their China trip, further enhanced by the locals' kindness towards their baby. The hanging village itself was impressive, larger than expected, with clever food vendors and an ancient atmosphere. A truly memorable experience showcasing Chinese hospitality.
