As the Fall Semester drew to a close, we were all ready for a break because we had not taken time-off during the Christmas holiday. Quickly the restaurants and shops near our campus were closing for the Spring Festival/Chinese New Year break, and our surroundings becoming a ghost town, so we were anxious to get away! We had decided to travel within China (as opposed to following the lure of nearby countries), taking the opportunity to see more of this beautifully diverse country.
We have chronicled the travels we were blessed to make during the winter break between semesters at school. These are posted in six parts in chronological order such that Part 1 is placed first, at the ‘top’ of these blog postings. Please be sure to scroll down to see the following parts. We have included a few photographs with these articles but many more are posted in the Pictures pages of our blog. Hope you enjoy “traveling” along with us through our experiences!
