Linfen Night Club

Picture by Xiao Yu (晓宇)





My friend took me out to a nice bar in town, which I was surprised to find out even existed here. The place is run by the local mafia, of which I met a good number of them because my friend of 22 used to be a member. It was a pretty nice place but not really my style, and I'm almost positive the whiskey was fake too.

Hu Kou Waterfall (壶口瀑布)

That's Shaanxi (陕西) province on the other side. Not to be confused with my wonderful province of Shanxi (山西). The difference in pronouncing these provinces is tonal, So don't trouble yourself wondering how to pronounce the double 'a', it's  just to distinguish the two, because to any non-Chinese speaker they would probably sound the same.































I made it to Hukou waterfall (壶口瀑布), which is the most famous of Linfen's attractions because it used to be on the back of the 50 yuan bill. However it wasn't a terribly exciting place; I'm not sure what i was expecting but really it's just this little waterfall in the middle of a mostly dry river bed. I think what makes it so bad is the six hour round trip bus ride through the mountains to get there and back. But I know if I hadn't of gone I would of regretted it so I shouldn't complain too much.
