Guanxi, China


Most recently, Captain Trevor took a little trip to China for a conference. The Cross Strait Forest Dynamics Plot Workshop was the name, presenting my thesis research was the game. After the conference, we were treated to a three day tour of a karst forest in the southern part of Guanxi Province, near the border of China and Vietnam and some other delectable treats along the way. After that I had two more days to wander on my own. Here are the sights as seen through the lens of a camera:
