Shanghai: where I will see the sites before catching another overnight train, this time to..
Xi'an: home of the world famous Terracotta warriors. After exploring the former Capital of China for a few days I take yet another train to...
Yichang: a riverside city that is the starting point for boat tours of the...
Three Gorges: a region along the Yangtze river famous for its towering bluffs. Will spend two days floating down the Yangtze and then its back to trains for the trip to...
Yangshuo: a small country town offering a chance to see some of the more scenic sides of China. To warp things up, we jump another train for the overnight trip to...
Hong Kong: which will be my final destination in China. I'll spend three or four days exploring Hong Kong before moving on to my next destination, Thailand.
