It was heavy rainstorm with thunders when I was going yesterday to the Shenyang Station… Brrrr…
They allow you to enter the platform only 10 minutes before departure. No much time to find your car… As you know hardsleeper on China Railways is a king of European couchette car, 3-tier, not divided into compartments… This was K-category train (low) so the car was quite old, heating did not work… It was cold and noisy at night. I am moving north – to to the cooler area.
I was happy to leave train in the morning in the little town Song Jiang He, at the bottom of Changbai Mountains (Ever White Mountains). Not easy to find accommodation in the place where nobody speaks English! (even in the hotel). But the worst news is that it is cloudy and light rain is expected – I cannot go to the Heavenly Lake today. I have a day of flexibility. So I will try again tomorrow. Please keep your fingers crossed!
