About the Trip

In April 2008 I took my first trip to China and fell in love with the country. Never had I felt so out of my element, so off balance and yet still in awe of an ancient culture as I did when I was being stared at walking along the Great Wall of China. After spending 28 days traveling from Beijing to Chengdu I vowed I would come back to this fascinating country and see the southern half and Tibet. I planned a great many trips, but at the last minute they always fell through.

Three years later the chance to go back to China has finally come. This time instead of going with my husband and our good friend Justin, I will be traveling with my sister Melody and her husband Dave. While I wont be seeing Tibet yet again, I will be exploring more of the southern half of China.

The adventure begins in Beijing and progresses onto Chundu, Leshan to see Mt.Emei, Jiuzhaigou, Lijian and finally back to Beijing. I will get to walk on the Great Wall of China again, see the largest stone Buddha in the world and trek through Tiger Leaping Gorge. It should be a fantastic trip, filled with new experiences and the chance to see a more wild side of China than I have ever experienced before.
