(visited by Herman de Haan and Haijing de Haan-Cao)

18-May-2023 -- We took the bullit train in the morning from Taiyuan to Yuncheng, where Haijing once lived for some years. Like any other Chinese city, Yuncheng is booming and has changed a lot the last 20 years. Seriously big blocks of flats are still being built!

The day before we arrived, Xi Jinping visisted the museum of Yuncheng, which we did as well after we visited the confluence point.

The CP was very easy to visit. We took a taxi from the highspeed trainstation to the saltlake, from there we walked to the cp. You do not have to worry about wet feet anymore. After 11 years this CP is visited again.
