China 4/18/2015 - 5/6/2015



After a fantastic trip to China last October with Myths and Mountains, we decided to return to see more of this fascinating country. Our visas were still valid, and very affordable non-stop flights from Boston to Beijing made it irresistable.

This trip would start off with some of the popular tourist destinations: Beijing, Xi'an (home of the terra cotta warriors), a Yangtze River cruise through the Three Gorges area, and Chengdu (famous for giant pandas). Then we would cap off the trip with a return visit to Guizhou, to visit our dear friend Wang Jun and his family. We would do some sightseeing in the area, as well as attend a courtship festival of the Miao ethnic minority.
