China: The Trip

So many of you know (or don’t) Ed and I decided to travel around China for the summer. We had about 6 weeks total vacation time and in light of trying to save money we decided to check out this humungous country we live in, China. Now there are plenty of places to go, but we had a few decidedly favorites. For me, I wanted to see the western mountains, Dali, Lijiang, Shangrila if possible. Ed wanted to check out some of the minority groups that China has. So with a little research he picked Guizhou province and a city called Kaili.


The original plan was to take a train out to Guizhou’s capital: Guiyang. However after looking at the time table (20+) we decided to fly out. One hour versus 20+. Yes please!  After exploring some minority villages, we were destined to go to Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, and Shangrila to do some much needed hiking and nature loving.

Below you will find several posts about our trip. I've tried to make it in chronological order so that you are reading from the beginning to the end of our trip.  That means you will have to click to the 'next page' or 'older posts' options at the bottom of each page.

Enjoy!
