Are you ready to head back to Fandom? Frankly, us either, but you have until mid-afternoon to do a quick river cruise, buy some more souvenirs, go spelunking, or become masters of the art of dumpling making (not you, Tony and Steve).

Only a few hours before we bid China farewell, Fandom! Up and at 'em!

It was still pretty out, but with the sun going down, it's getting darker and colder by the minute. Don't worry, though - there's still plenty to do.

Or not do, as the mood strikes.

If you were getting tired of historical monuments and city life, Guilin is for you: it's a city surrounded by stunning natural beauty. Today is for hiking, and riverboat cruising. Well, after we stuff ourselves with dim sum down in the hotel breakfast buffet.

Good morning, Xi'an! It's time to get up early if you want to catch the bus to see the pandas but if you'd rather stay and explore the city before we catch a flight to Guilin in the late afternoon, that's a valid life choice, too.

But c'mon. Pandas.

Are your feet dying yet? Well, suck it up, buttercups, because there's a whole new city to explore tonight!

Or hide in your room and order room service. We're not the boss of you.

Sure, you could take the bus back to the hotel, but then you'd miss out on the opportunity to eat Peking duck, take in a show full of kung fu fighters, and go dancing! Folks who stayed at the hotel can come join us for evening fun, as well.

Or you can go back and soak your screaming feet. We understand.

Good morning, Fandom! Today is a little warmer than yesterday, with beautiful clear skies. Be sure to put on your sunscreen! You'll need it if you're getting on the bus to Beijing!

As the sun started going down, the temperature dropped low enough that the fire in the lodge was going to feel very good--but first there was dinner!

The school has rented out the Schoolhouse, located a few blocks from the Brickhouse, and arranged for a lesson in making traditional noodles. Don't miss out!

Good morning, Fandom! It is...let's say "brisk" rather than "cold" this morning, but it's sunny and clear, perfect for walking along the Great Wall of China and then eating an absolute ton of steaming hot noodles and drinking tea.

Which, conveniently enough, is what's on tap for today!

Some brittle sunlight managed to filter through the overcast skies, but for the most part, the hills of Mutianyu, Huairou County, China seemed ready to go to sleep. But the Brickyard, an old rural outpost transformed into a hotel, was still open for business and ready to greet the incoming students and teachers alike.

Come, settle in, get some sleep. You have a long trip ahead of you.
