Backpacking around China

I got back a few weeks ago from a big trip around China to visit friends and be a tourist. Here’s what we got up to. 

We flew into and out of Beijing.

We then took an overnight train to Xi’an.

We trained to Chengdu.

We flew to Shangri-la.

We took a bus to Lijiang.

We took an overnight train to Kunming.

We took the high speed train to Guilin and took some buses to Xingping, where we stayed for 3 days.

We then took three different trains to get to Shenzhen, where we crossed the border into Hong Kong.

We then crossed back and went to Guangzhou.

We took an overnight train to Shanghai and I spent one night there.

I then took buses and boats to get to Taohua Island to see Lisa.

I then bused, boated, and trained all the way back to Beijing.

And that’s what we did for four weeks in China! More posts to come.
