- Hunan : tout savoir sur le parc Zhangjiajie | Douzeregardsdumonde
Immense décor naturel, le parc de Zhangjiajie ayant inspiré Avatar se révèle complexe à appréhender... Hunan: everything you need to know about Zhangjiajie Park A popular destination for the Chinese, immense natural scenery on two floors, the Zhangjiajie National Park (Hunan) and its karst peaks that inspired Avatar can be complex to grasp. Unless you read on. Where to stay? In order to avoid the daily round trip between the city of Zhangjiajie and the park, the solution is called Wulingyuan. Located at the entrance to the park, this town has many hostels (100 yuan for two a night if you negotiate) and allows you to show up when the park opens without getting too stressed. How long to spend there? The pass is valid for 4 days and the park has enough beautiful scenery to keep you busy all that time. We also advise you to spend 4 days there. But if your itinerary in China is a bit tight, 2 or 3 days will already allow you to fully enjoy the park. How to reach Zhangjiajie Park? Buses depart very frequently from Zhangjiajie City Central Station. The ticket costs 21 yuan for a trip of about an hour before reaching the park. Where to buy your entry ticket? How much does it cost ? How long is it valid? The ticket can be bought at... the entrance to the park, quite simply. When we visited, it was necessarily activated at the time of purchase. By buying it the day before for the next day, you therefore lose one day of access. The ticket costs 246.5 yuan and gives you access to the park for 4 days. How to move in the park? The entrance ticket includes bus transport. You will therefore have nothing to pay extra (unless you test the favorite toys of Chinese tourists, elevator and cable car on the menu). The park is huge and divided into two sections. A low section and a high section. Strictly distinct. In each of them, the bus network allows you to reach each attraction quite easily. But the two sections are not connected by public transport (except lift and paid cable car of course). It is therefore necessary to take the stairs to go up and down from one section to another.

- Comment faire des économies à San Pedro de Atacama ? | Douzeregardsdumonde
Au milieu des sollicitations de tours en 4x4, optez pour le vélo. Ça marche au moins pour la vallée de la lune et de la mort. How to save money in San Pedro de Atacama In the midst of the demands of 4x4 tours, opt for the bike. It works at least for Moon Valley and Death Valley. The message is clear. “If you come from the Salar de Uyuni, there is not much to see in San Pedro”, summarizes a Chilean guide. We will still find out. We are then offered the geysers, an outing to find ourselves at an altitude of 5,000m or even the thermal waters. But our attention stops on the valley of the moon. 10€ per day Soon enough, it appears that the bike is a good option. For about 10 euros a day, we rent our mountain bike. A little hard to push on the 5 kilometers that separate us from the entrance to the valley of the moon. On site, you pay 2,000 pesos for entry (if this is your case, the price is cheaper for students). Then we get back on the bike. Between autonomy and economy To avoid heat stroke, plan the day. Because the slopes are sometimes rough. But the bike really allows you to be independent and therefore to organize your time between the different points of interest in the valley. Plus, it will save you a lot of money. We therefore took the pedaling option for the Valley of the Moon. And of course we recommend it!

- Comment/où passer la frontière Brésil–Bolivie ? | Douzeregardsdumonde
Pour aller en Bolivie, nous avons opté pour le poste-frontière de Corumba (Brésil). Une seule recommandation : soyez patients. How and where to cross the border Brazil – Bolivia When heading to Bolivia, we opted for the Corumba border post in Brazil. Only one recommendation: be patient. The first contact is, shall we say, amazing. After a fabulous month in Brazil, the “welcome” of the Bolivians is in fact slightly less warm. At the Corumba-Puerto Quijarro border post on December 23, the instructions are clear: take your time and above all do not count on any solidarity of circumstances. Eh oui, it's time to discover the legendary friendliness of the Bolivians. Watch out for rushed taxis On the paper side, everything is going smoothly. Be careful when leaving Brazil, taxis offering to take you immediately to Bolivia. Otherwise, you may have to return to the border. On the Bolivian side, we are granted 30 days of stay and given us the small proof of immigration to keep preciously until leaving the country. Easy to file at Santa Cruz On the financial side, the taxi between the land terminal of Corumba to the border post benefits from its monopoly position: 75 reais per trip (~20€)! Once at immigration control, get your passport stamped and you are in Puerto Quijarro. If you need a taxi right away, it will cost you 10 bolivianos (~2.5€). The wallet will appreciate. Depending on your route, buses, collectivos and trains depart regularly from Puerto Quijarro to Santa Cruz. Iguaçu Falls: Argentinian or Brazilian side, which is better?

- Où dormir à Jaisalmer ? | Douzeregardsdumonde
En plein centre du fort de Jaisalmer, Teju et son auberge Temple view offrent un super rooftop sur la ville. Et pour des prix très abordables. Where to sleep in Jaisalmer? Right in the center of the Jaisalmer fort, Teju and its Temple view hostel offer a great rooftop view of the city. And for very affordable prices. We liked it so we did a little advertising. On the end of our trip to Rajasthan, we spent 4 nights in Teju's hostel, Hotel Temple View, in Jaisalmer. You can sleep there for quite cheap depending on the comfort you are looking for. We got 400 rupees for two for 4 nights in a room with private bathroom. Nice view and good prices Once you have put your bags in your room, go up to the second floor. A super pleasant rooftop awaits you with a view of the Jain temple and sunset on the horizon. Regarding its menu, Teju offers quite affordable prices compared to its rooftop neighbors (thali at 100 rupees against 150 elsewhere). Although, of course, you will eat for less in the streets outside the fort. Desert option available We felt so good on this rooftop that we didn't move from there. But Teju offers desert tours at fair market entry prices (1200 rupees per person for one night with all meals included). To be discussed around a chai on the rooftop of course.

- Mongolie : combien de temps passer à cheval ? | Douzeregardsdumonde
Parti pour un tour de 15 jours en Mongolie, vers l’ouest du pays puis dans le désert de Gobi, on a passé quelques jours à cheval. Pour les novices, cela devrait suffire. How long to spend on horseback? Leaving for a 15-day tour in Mongolia, towards the west of the country then in the Gobi desert, we spent a few days on horseback. For novices, this should suffice. There are many formulas. Four days in the Orkhon valley, ten days in eastern Mongolia or even three weeks traveling the steppes. All of this, of course, on horseback. Everyone will have their own idea. But, for beginners, the first option seems the most balanced. Discovery of new muscles In the middle of an organized two-week tour, we rode on horseback for four days. The ride through the Orkhon Valley was well paced and challenged some previously unknown muscles. This short passage on horseback was finally the perfect timing. Because beautiful but a bit physical. In our group of seven, some have skipped half a day. 4 days to start and then... If four days are not enough, it is always possible to add another horseback excursion to the rest of your trip. For us, four days are in any case a good initiation to discover superb landscapes without suffering too much. Before, why not, prolong the pleasure.

- Rajasthan : dormir à Bundi ou à Chittorgarh ? | Douzeregardsdumonde
Au sud de Jaipur, Bundi et Chittorgarh rivalisent par leurs magnifiques forts. Mais, niveau hébergement et ambiance dans la ville, disons que le débat n’existe pas. Is it better to sleep in Bundi or Chittorgarh? South of Jaipur, Bundi and Chittorgarh compete with their magnificent forts. But, in terms of accommodation and atmosphere in the city, let's say that the debate does not exist. The fort of Chittorgarh is huge. Even with a car, its visit requires several hours. To admire the details of the temples, the size of its Jain towers or its ramparts overlooking the city. But that's all. In Chittorgarh, everything is concentrated in the fort. The visit can therefore easily be done during the day. Monkeys, blue roofs and (obviously) horns In Bundi, the atmosphere is totally different.On the outskirts of the Taragarh fort , monkeys and cows rule the roost. Each rooftop offers a breathtaking view of the blue roofs of the old town. Peaceful. In the middle of the hubbub of the Indian streets, Bundi surprises. By its tranquility. Finally, Indian tranquility obliges, irresistible horns stand out. View from Bundi Palace Bundi > Chittorgarh The surrounding decor is well worth stopping for a few days to stroll to the rhythm of the population. And between two meals on a rooftop in the old town, an outing will take you to reservoirs carved into the rock or a distant cenotaph. An entire program. It is guaranteed, it is better to stop in Bundi than in Chittorgarh.

- Grande Muraille de Chine : Où voir un coucher de soleil ? | Douzeregardsdumonde
Accessible depuis Pékin, la muraille de Jiankou offre un superbe cadre de randos et, surtout, un magnifique spectacle au coucher du soleil. Where to see a superb sunset over the Great Wall of China? Accessible from Beijing, the Jiankou wall offers a superb setting for hiking and, above all, a magnificent spectacle at sunset. Go to the level of “ escalators of paradise ”. The portion seems slightly sloping. Several dozen steps to gain height. Quickly, very quickly. Breathless, back soaked, and staring at the top. To win his internal conflict against vertigo. The “ stairways to paradise” are well worth their informal nickname. Because they dominate the wall of Jiankou, in the middle of the mountain and very close to the sky. Up there, adrenaline gives way to ecstasy. That of a daily show. And yet unique. A portion of the wall hitherto invisible The rays of the sun begin to fade on the other side of the Wall, towards Mutianyu. The guard towers, one by one, disappear into the shadows. We must then hurry. Because the show takes place at a ten-minute walk, a stroll, alone on the Wall. Two laps later, the show takes on another face. The light of day is fading, the sun is dozing gently. Before lying down behind the mountain. Some of its persistent rays then discover a portion of the Wall hitherto invisible. The silence prolongs this moment. At nightfall, the return to the village of Xizhazi, at the foot of the Wall, takes place in a haze of wonder. Alone in the dark. Guided by the only bright memory of this setting sun. From Dongzhimen Station, take bus 916 to Huairou. From this city, then take the H25 to Xizhazi, the starting point for hikes on the Jiankou wall.
