Amazing 3 Weeks in China - Beijing, Xi an, Yangtze, Guilin, Shanghai
Three weeks in China, covering Beijing, Xi'an, Yangtze River cruise, Guilin, and Shanghai. This country is nothing like what the media shows.
Beijing - Ancient meets Modern
The contrast is incredible. Standing at the Great Wall while seeing modern Beijing in the distance - this is a country of contrasts.
Xi'an - History Comes Alive
The Terracotta Warriors exceeded all expectations. The scale, the detail, the history - you have to see it to believe it.
Yangtze Cruise - A Different Perspective
Floating down China's longest river, seeing the Three Gorges - this was a peaceful, magical experience.
Guilin - Nature at its Best
The karst landscapes are otherworldly. Taking a bamboo raft down the Li River was definitely a highlight.
Shanghai - The Future is Now
The skyline is breathtaking. The Bund at night, the Oriental Pearl Tower, the 超级建筑 - Shanghai feels like a glimpse into the future.
What the Media Doesn't Show
- How safe it actually is
- How helpful people are
- How modern the infrastructure is
- How delicious the food is
China is incredible. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
