Hi,

I will be following a tour to Hainan next week, and I plan to backpack to Xian from there. I notice that there is no direct train from Haikou to Xian and the best way is from Haikou-Guangzhou then from Guangzhou to Xian. I have a few problems here:

1) My last day in Hainan is Saturday and I realize that the train from Haikou to Guangzhou is only available on weekdays. Anyone out there know whether any train schedule on weekend to Guangzhou?

2) I could not find whether the train from Guangzhou to Xian is daily or not. Any idea on this?

I AM A FOREIGN STUDENT SO I WANT TO VISIT MANY PLACES OF CHINA BUT I AM AT RIZHAO CITY OF SHANDONG PROVINCE NOW AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT THE TRAIN SCHEDULES AND PLACES TO VISIT EASILY FROM HERE.

i am a foreign student and i really enjoy lgging on these site because i find many informations and most good thing is that i can learn mandarian chinese from here.

Humbled coming off five straight days of riding some of the most interesting lines I have ever ridden.

It started with 20cm of fresh two nights in a row. The lift line at kicking horse resort was in a quiet frenzy at 8:30 on a Monday morning, every one who could call in sick did, and those who couldn’t simply didn’t go to work. The first two days, sticking it between he ropes,. The adage of No Friends on a Power Day holding true with a dynamic group of ride partners in a constant state of flux, running solo but never alone. Milking  the natural features of the landscape of all their interesting lines.

An article about railway ticket scalping (and a campaign against it) in the L.A. times.

One thing I found interesting is: 

Many turned out to be pregnant women or those carrying babies, since under Chinese law these groups are exempt from arrest or fines.

If that's true, that would explain porn merchants carrying babies.

The story of the junk left behind in Shangri-La by the production of the movie "The Promise"

These garbage even caused the impoverished Chunzhong and Tunzhu "tremendous economic losses."  Chunzhong said: "A few of our cows ate the plastic sheets that were left behind from the tent construction.  They could not digest it and they died."  The old man said that a small calf is worth 300 yuan and a small yak is worth 1,000 yuan.  Tunzhu would really like someone to accept responsibility for their losses, but he does not know whom to demand compensation from.
