Bàn tú ér fèi,半途而废:To Leave Something Unfinished
Bàn tú ér fèi 半途而废: To Leave Something Unfinished: This Chinese idiom somewhat sums up my recent work on the blog. I’ve written a lot of new texts and I’ve selected a lot of photos to go with them. However, I haven’t been able to put them together. Hopefully in the next few weeks they all will be finished.
In the meantime enjoy this very apt idiom (成语 Chengyŭ): Bàn tú ér fèi半途而废
Coming up (when finished):

Your blog is fantastic and I absolutely love it. Will you have anything on Taiyuan and Hohot Inner Mongolia?
Hi Yoli
I was in Taiyuan in 2001 when we visited Pingyao, Wutaishan and Datong. Most practical information we have is probably quite dated.
I will probably put some material up from that trip but more as ‘how it was then’ from our diary.
I’ve never been to Hohot.
