Huizhou

Huizhou is not in the Lonely Planet book for China mostly since it has nothing known that is of significance to young travelers. But it's about 2 million people and is a relatively modern, clean city. It's also rather calm and its residents are proud of the way this distinguishes it from more famous Chinese cities. It's considered a good place to live.

It's official claims to fame are the pleasant West Lake and the fact that the 2011 Guangdong Games was hosted in the city.

This post is unfinished.  Suffice it to say that I took both my older children here in successive years, mainly to be taught Chinese by a university teacher there.
