Southbound Train
Perhaps it was a silly idea from the start – leaving Beijing just as the stifling sumer heat was subsiding and heading off for Southern China, which was still frying under the sun. I’m useless on a sweaty day and find the sticky summers quite unbearable – but I’m still never reluctant to step on something that moves, especially when it’s heading somewhere I’ve never been before. The whole of Jiangxi Province has always been out of reach for me in the four years I’ve spent in China – for some reason, I’ve always circumvented the place in my travels – and this was as good an opportunity as any to correct the problem on my way to the southern Chinese border – and spend a night or two in the city of Nanchang.
