• Samuel Speiser's Dairy - Friday, Dec.9, 2011
Visit to Beibuwan Square, the center of Beihai city. A real bustling place. Went for a walk up street, the oldest in Beihan. Period buildings from the 19th century hosting shops and restaurants line the streets.
• Samuel Speiser's Dairy - Thursday, Dec.8, 2011
The weather is windy and rather chilly in the seaside town of Beihai. It's somehow great to be back in a big city with all of the lights and broad boulevards and new construction.
• Samuel Speiser's Dairy - Wednesday, Dec.7, 2011
Tongling falls are spectacular in a unique way, not as grand as others around the world in scale, but a jungle meditation, verdant, steep.
• Samuel Speiser's Dairy - Tuesday, Dec.6, 2011
Today we took the train from Guilin to Nanning. For the cost of around ten dollars, we had a wonderful communal experience.

The first to be presented is Zhuhai Road in Beihai City of China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
