To say we were pleased to arrive at our hotel at 1am this morning would be an understatement (long day traveling). China does not allow access to so many social media sites so don't think we will be posting to fb. A tour of X'an is on the itinerary for today. Rain is expected but the weather is quite warm.Les mer

Great day today. Terracotta warriors are amazing. Shame it was a wet gloomy day, but at least it wasn't cold.

After a long domestic check-in process including numerous security checks (including pat-down) for every passenger, we were finally in the air for our short flight to Beijing. Our new tour guide offered to take us on a tour of the Temple of Heaven as we had free time before dinner. Certainly got our exercise today!Les mer

Wish I had been wearing my Fit Bit today - heaps of walking. First stop, Tiananmen Square, one of the largest squares in the world. Then we walked to the Imperial Palace in the Forbidden City. Such a huge place and quite beautiful. It took over 2hrs to walk from one side to the other. Thankful to be able to rest and enjoy a wonderful lunch before heading off to the Summer Palace. Joined another couple at a Mongolian Hotpot restaurant for dinner tonight - such a fun meal, trying to order with our language barrier. Staff were wonderful.Les mer

This morning I thought walking some of the Great Wall would be the highlight of our day and at the time it was! We both made it up the steepest option which was quite an accomplishment in the 30deg+ heat. Then there was the Peking Duck dinner which also was terrific. But the spectacular show we went to this evening was so amazing it makes it so difficult to chose the highlight of the day. It even included a huge on-stage waterfall.Les mer

Final day in Beijing

Today was a little more laid back. First it was a trip to the zoo to see giant pandas 🐼. Such cuddly looking characters. A beautiful lunch at a traditional family home in the Hutong area - the last remaining area in it's tradition form - followed by a rickshaw ride through the old streets. Next stop, the Lake District with it's cafes and shops, for some free time and a coffee. The final stop was at the Night Market and food market with it'a strange collection of food such as fried scorpions, sea horses, crickets, tarantula etc on sticks! Must say, none of them tempting me to partake!Les mer

Off to Suzhou this morning by bullet train. Great trip at over 300kph for our 5hr journey. Lovely hotel room with a view over a square with huge groups of people ballroom dancing, line dancing, exercising and young children playing rollerskating games. Wonderful use of community space. Early to bed tonight as we head off for a little sightseeing in the morning on our drive to Hangzhou.Les mer

Our Suzhou to Shanghai tour guide Summer took us to The Lingering Garden in Suzhou this morning. Such beautiful and peaceful spaces. Next was a visit to the Silk Spinning Factory to learn about silk worm process into silk garments etc (and of course the chance to purchase some pure silk product). Lunch was at a huge restaurant within the factory then back on the bus to our next stop The Grand Canal to take a cruise in a traditional Chinese boat along the ancient waterway to view the ancient houses and way of life. An almost 3hr drive saw us safely arrive at our next beautiful hotel, Grand New Century Hotel Yuhang. Tonight we scored an executive room 👍 early start tomorrow.Les mer

Early start today as we make our way to Shanghai. A visit to the Lotus Gardens and a boat trip on the Great Lake was our first stop. Very humid today. Next, we visit a green tea plantation for some tea tasting before lunch. Pleased to be back on the air conditioned bus, we begin our 3 hr drive to Shanghai. Beautiful 5 star hotel for the next 2 nights.Les mer
