(7 of 10 of Dazu Buddhist Grottoes)
The Bei Shan caves are quiet. Empty. Except for the odd tourist. It's a good change from the packed Baoding Shan caves. The walk to Bei Shan was uneventful with many people willing to point him in the right direction.
He's completely misread them. Despite their crude and rude exterior, which is the first thing one encounters, they've got a very kind and friendly interior. He wonders if it's because of their language being sharp and harsh or their innate distrust for other people unless they know them or simply because they prefer to do business quickly. They're actually quite clean people in terms of personal hygiene although their civic-mindedness is something to be desired.
He still hasn't gotten over the fact that he never got to thank the two men who helped him find a suitable accommodation from the Chongqing Bei train station.
