(lots to see, amazing food but very cold) Tomorrow I am going to travel to Tai'an to climb the Tai Shan Mountain. After that I think I will go to Zhengzhou for a bus trip to the "Shaolin Temple" and then to Luoyang for the "Longmen Caves" fllowed by a train to Xi'an (Terracotta Army;Tomb of Emperor Jingdi;and some kebab). After Xi'an I only have some ideas but no fixed route:
I have a flight from HongKong back to Zurich at 24.Dec. which means I have to be there(Hongkong) at the 20th to see something from the city. What do you think of my ideas? What do I miss? I have the budget to travel with domestic airplanes to safe time. But it is clear that I can't do everything because my time is limited. So what do you think are good itineraries for me? Did I miss Kaifeng and Qufo on my way to Shaolin? I heard there is a good night-market in Kaifeng. If someone wants to join me travelling: you are welcomed.

We also fitted in Tibet - just a thought - easy to arrange from Chengdu... it was cold there last week though, so if you're going bring a jumper! Also: the internal flights are great in China, really good value at the moment as well (make sure to check for discounts - and don't be too afraid to book them the day/night before going) but it is good to try the train, just for the experience, if you get a chance. Enjoy yourself! Take care. Number of Users: 2 | Number of Posts: 2 | ||||||||||
