Amazing walkway along the stream

June 21st 2015
When carrying out our research on China, we stumbled across a place called Zhangjiajie (pronounced Jang-Jyaar-Jyeh but said quickly). We were lucky to have came across it as many westerners do not really come here (call it luck or maybe it was down to our excitement in researching every last corner of China). Across this whole site you are therefore unlikely to see another western face. When you r ... read more

Hi we're Chris and P. We have quit our jobs and sold our house to follow our dream of travelling around the world for 12 months!!! Let’s jump back about 2 years - We're driving to P's friend’s house for an evening meal when she turns and says "I've been thinking..." And what a thought that was indeed. That thought turned into buying a dilapidated property and spending a total of 2 years 'doing it up' ourselves coupled with a new job and a wedding thrown into the mix for good measure.

Wild China!
You two have the most amazing adventures! Before your blogs, I'd just associated China with crowded cities. Despite the 4 hours uphill on stone steps, (yikes) and the manic monkeys, this place really sounds magical. Thank goodness the bus took you around the second day!

Wild China
Haha, we too were relieved the second day with the bus. We covered most of the forest floor the first day so we could relax a little exploring the tops that second day. I agree its one adventure after another. Even though we may know where we are going next we do not fully anticipate what is waiting?. We loved China, the cities can be crowded and even some tourest sites but there is still so much to explore in China. The most dyanimic scenary we have encountered for one. It's just charming.
