Traveling in Beijing, China
Our foray into China began amid the hubbub of Beijing. We visited the Summer Palace, Donghuamen Night Market, hutongs, Great Wall and so much more.
Overnight trains in China
Taking overnight trains in a common part of travel in China. Adjusting to the therapeutic rocking motion during a night’s sleep as well as sharing a bunk with strangers adds a special note to the travel experience.
Meeting China’s Giant Pandas
Meeting China’s famous giant pandas was an inspiring travel experience. Cuddly, lovable, and oh so cute, these black-and-white bears live nowhere else in the world outside captivity.
Discovering Yangshou, China
This quaint little town of Yangshou keep us occupied for a few days before we traveled further south to Hong Kong. While here, we shopped in the town’s many boutiques and markets and drank plenty of tea while waiting for the rain to stop.
Traveling in the Yunnan Province, China
Kunming, in China’s western Yunnan province, is gorgeous!!! As the jumping off point for Lijiang and the fabulous Tiger Leaping Gorge, there is a strong Tibetan influence in many of the local villages.
