"In order to travel in China, it’s a good idea to leave all your preconceptions at the border! I admit that, for the French, famous for being whiners and sermonizers, this can prove to be a challenge. Our preconceptions are often weightier than the well-filled suitcases full of must-see places the guides themselves haul around.
However, all you need to do is turn a corner, let yourself be immersed into the millions-and-some Chinese to appreciate the lushness of the landscapes and the magical places that stretch out for kilometers ahead of you. Xiéxie (thank you) to Tryphon Tournesol, Tintin, Dupont (d) and all my other little characters allowed me to experience many encounters with curious, surprised, hilarious and often good-natured people.
