While waiting for my travelling companions to arrive, I had a bit of a snoop around Wuyishan – up and down the river and around town. The hotel in Wuyishan was in a very trendy neighbourhood with lots of boutique hotels and restaurants. It was a shame all the roads were dug up. The weather is very hot and humid. Typhoon Maria is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, so the locals say the excessive heat is associated with that. Nobody in this town seems to speak English, so it is fun and tedious to ask questions and get things done via iPhone apps. I get the impression quite a few local Chinese had studied English in high school but forgot most of it. The mountains across the river are beautiful to look at on evening strolls. I spent most of the day tucked away in my hotel room processing pictures in air-conditioned comfort.
