But you are wrong about that you cannot do canoeing in China. There are still clear lakes and rivers you can swim in. Even drink the water. If you come back I can take you there.
And Thanks Michael for the other documentaries, I will have a look at them.
It's not that you can't do it at all. Here I can do it any day I want to and it's not very far or expensive. I see hundreds of turtles and other wildlife. In 11 years in China I didn't see a single turtle because they have all been eaten. I saw and did many other cool things but a peaceful canoe or bicycle ride in China is just not something that is easily accessible for normal people. Riding a bike through dust clouds and almost getting run over by lorries is not my idea of a good time, yet that is the experience in all but the most remote areas of China now and you have to get your bike there first.
