Number of windy days this week: 1

How was the weather this week?:

Most of southern China has persistent weather for most of the winter season with temperatures ranging from 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. It is certainly not as cold as a New York winter, but I have noticed people out in winter coats and lots of sweaters! I have also noticed that this week has been unusually sunny. Normally, there's a fair amount of cloudy days in the region, but my friends and I were lucky enough to experience some sunny weather while in Guangzhou.

What animals did I see this week? :

Hong Kong and Guangzhou are both fairly urbanized areas. However, just like New York, I have noticed that people love walking their dogs around the city. There are also quite a few cats roaming around town. Many of these cats were actually quite friendly!

What was the coolest thing I saw in nature this week?:

We started the week off hiking Dragon's Back for the second time. The hike is on Hong Kong Island and you can see a number of wan (the Cantonese word for "bays") cutting into the city's mountainous terrain.
