Huairou Arrival We survived our first bus trek out to Huairou. It still only took forty minutes and traffic was smooth. Early in the morning we were told that instead of buses every twenty minutes, their would be only one departure time (7:30 a.m.) and one return time (7:00 p.m.). The truth remains to be seen...
The delegation also reports that there are long walking distances between buildings and heavy rains made the first day somewhat difficult.
