Highlights of China

We spent a total of three weeks in China. Upon leaving Australia we flew to Beijing and initiated our north-to-south traverse primarily visiting major cities with the exception of our Yangtze river cruise and a climb in the Yellow Mountains. Click on the map or on the pictures below to take you to places on our trip.

Beijing and the Great Wall are important sites in northern China.  

Next stop is Xi'an and the site of the terra cotta warriors.



We spent a day in Chongquing before starting our Yangtze cruise.




The construction of the Yangtze Dam signals permanent change to the areas surrounding the river.

Once a sacred space, the Yellow Mountains provide visual magic for those who out of their way to visit.

Guilin was one of the smaller and less industrialized areas in which we visited.

Guangzhou is the home of the Sun Yetsen Memorial Hall.

Our last China stop was the city of Hong Kong.  Densely populated on a narrow island, Hong Kong remains the Chinese enigma.
