China - Tunxi

After Hangzhou, we went to Tunxi, which was really just a place to sleep before climbing up Huangshan mountain. But, it turned out to be an interesting place with kitschy touristy shops (right down our alley). We bought a lovely scroll painting of Huangshan, which we undoubtedly got ripped on, but by our standards is still cheap.

We also found a sort of yum-cha restaurant except all the food is displayed near the kitchen with numbered codes, and you walk around with a clipboard and order whatever looks tasty. How Chinese restaurants can have 55 different items on the menu and New Zealand resturants only 15 we'll never know.
