Disneyland day 2 and on way home
2. toukokuuta, Kiina ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Yesterday we were up early, walked to Disney as we had a one hour early entry because we are staying at the Toy Story Hotel. We ran and got into Soaring over horizon which usually has 120min wait and then to Caribbean Pirates- loved that one! Funny to be in a Disneyland where no English is spoken but you kind of get what’s going on!

We then did all the random no line up things- went into the castle which told Snow White story, met Mickey,Spider-Man, woody and buzz light year. We did a maze and watched a princess show. After Cheesecake factory lunch back to Hotel for a snooze. Then back to Disney for a Chinese dinner and shopping.

Today we slept in and then walked to look at lakes at Disney, watched some Pixar movies and now at Airport Longe ready to head home.

Asked each person their favourite bits of China
Rod- Guilin cruise
Tate- exploring the hotels
Wyatt- Disneyland and Pandas
Macy- pandas
Erin- food, guides and Tiananmen SquareLue lisää

Shanghai
30. huhtikuuta, Kiina ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Bit of a sleep in. I now have Macy’s cold. Could be Covid but no testing here in China!

Found out a washer and dryer here in hotel so that’s a first in China. Tate has stepped up as my assistant clothes washer.

Went wit guide to TV and radio tower- pearl tower. Quite impressive inside- multiple levels of viewing, roller coaster massive museum etc…

Then to pedestrian walkway and the Bund. Then old Shanghai. Raining quite a bit so back to hotel then nice Italian dinner. Alex and all our guides have been lovely.

Tomorrow disneyland and public holiday so will be complete chaos- 250,000,000 people travelling over the next 5 days in China! Guides are laughing at us going to Disneyland! Rod and I may bail by noon!Lue lisää

Guilin and Shanghai
29. huhtikuuta, Kiina ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Bit of a dull day- off to breakfast and then drive 1.5 hours to Guilin airport. Lots of fog around so plane 1.5 hours late.

Arrived into Shanghai and was picked up and dropped at hotel. Watched some netball then 45min walk to the Cheesecake factory for dinner. Managed to use the metro and back at hotel now.

Tomorrow is a day sightseeing in Shanghai. Miss Finn and Tilly.Lue lisää

Guilin and yangshuo
28. huhtikuuta, Kiina ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Up early after a late arrival in Guilin. Macy got lost and couldn’t find our room but eventually found her at reception!

Lovely boat trip down the Li river. Rod thought there would be only one boat but probably 30+! Very beautiful. Landed in Yangshuo and found our lovely hotel- no carpet so no smoke smell!

We have spent the afternoon walking around this cool town, getting our feet cleaned by little fish and even found some local wine- Osmanthus wine.

Had a great dinner and now off to bed and then Shanghai tomorrow.Lue lisää

Up early- Rod got stuck on the wrong floor but sorted that so off we went to see the Pandas. Huge research/zoo with lots of pandas. Super cute.

Off to lunch then visit the Wide and narrow lanes which had shops and then to the biggest building in the world for some shopping!

Now at airport in lounge waiting to go to Guilin tonight. Won’t be in bed till late but looking forward to tomorrow in a very beautiful part of China.Lue lisää

Chengdu

Up early, breakfast and off to massive train station in Xi’an. Wrestled with a grandma to the front of the cue and got onto the train to Chengdu.

Met by our guide Jesper and off to the Irrigation system outside of town. The irrigation system was built about 300BC and has been used ever since. Some
Shopping then off to another lovely dinner. 1.5 hour drive back to Chengdu and find our hotel. Big day tomorrow with a flight at the end of the day.Lue lisää

Xi’an
25. huhtikuuta, Kiina ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
Up and breakfast and buying disneyland tickets. Picked up by James and driver and out to Terracotta Warriors. Was told by James that if you buy a ticket you may see the warriors- what that means is that there are tons of people and if you are polite you will always be at the back of the line to see so you need to force your way in! Tate turned out to be quite good at pushing to the front!

We were there and also went to the special modern museum about a km away that has the terracotta brass chariots.

Off to lunch in local noodle place. Then off to a massive circular show with camels, colour, singing and wolves. Took an hour and no one claps but everyone loved it. Lots of school kids in audience.

Then off to Buddhist temple- the Big Goose Pagoda. Some shopping, fun restaurant and the ever bright street (we saw before most of the lights on). We are exhausted so back home to our hotel. Tomorrow off to Chendu. Really liked Xi’an- way nicer than Beijing.Lue lisää

Up early for train. Macy has sore throat but has been kicking on.

Off to massive train station- high speed train to Xi’an- 6 hours and 308km.

Met our new guide James. Off to hotel which is in a great central position. Then off to the Great Mosque and markets bargained poorly for a little chairman Mao in the Muslim section.

Lots of beautiful flowers around. Had another large dinner and then off back to hotel as big day tomorrow with terracotta warriors.Lue lisää
