Arrived at Fuzhou train station

at around 10.15am in the morning after 12 hours on the train.

There aren’t any hostels in Fuzhou so walked around and found a hotel not too far away from the bus train station for 88Yuan~USD$13.

I think this is the most I have paid for accommodation in China after going around the country for a few months.

I have some distance relatives in Fuzhou. I am considered an overseas Chinese and my grandparents migrated from China during the 1940s from Fuzhou. They live at ShangJie town which is around 12km from Fuzhou. Bus (55,39) go towards ShangJie town, just jotted it down for my memory. I didn’t tell my distance relatives in advance that I am coming, I just rang them up and they came and picked me up from the city.

Went to ShangJie town which is the hometown of my ancestor.
