OCTOBER TRIP TO CHINA

It is now December and, having recovered from our travels, I am adding a few [of our many] photos to our blog.


Our China trip started in Beijing, China and ended in Shanghai. Note dotted lines are train travel; solid lines are plane travel and the heavy, solid line is boat travel on the Yangtze River cruise.


We spent the month of October with an Elderhostel tour group traveling by plane, train and some by private bus. It was a great trip and we saw many facets of Chinese life. About half the time in China was spent on regular tourist-type things and half visiting remote villages and various minority groups [an official category in China] plus lectures by university professors on Chinese history and culture.
