Backpack to China 中国
In and around China
I've been to China a few times (Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, Qinghai, etc.) but nothing was like this trip alone.
Early in the year of 2005 January, I've quit my job and went for a long break of 4 to 5 months, to be corrected, it should be 2 weeks in Hong Kong, 2 weeks in Mongolia (Ulaan Baatar), 3 months in China and back to Hong Kong.
Being 3 months in China alone, I've explored from province to province by trains and buses. This trip, I've cover Guangzhou, Guangxi, Yunnan, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Beijing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Hunan. I've started my trip by flying over to Hong Kong, staying at my friend's house for 2 weeks, took a bus from Hong Kong cross over to China custom (Shenzhen) and continue the journey to Guangzhou.
I had really enjoy a lot in this trip, lots of different experiences that keeps my mind with good memories.
