Fact: China is beautiful
My encounter with China was complicated, very. The three months in China was like riding a roller coaster for three months. I wrote about several unfortunate incidents in China (including Asian-Asian racism: Why Chinese people hate me, Top 5 worst travel moments), and also chanted how beautiful this country was (Tiger Leaping Gorge, Meeting panda bears for the first time, Hiking Emei Shan on foot).
I know, I am not the best spokesperson for the Chinese tourism industry, but I want to share the masculine scenery in China through this photo essay. Some photos are the ones I’ve already shared, some are new. Certainly, I didn’t see it all, but it was enough for me to gasp every time. Just like China we all know, there are some of the biggest monuments, and well-made highway to the top of the mountains. I can proudly say I visited all these places by foot and by bike. Mainly I spent time in Yunnan, Sichuan and Guangxi province.
Great photos. China has been like a roller coaster for me too. I have a Chinese visa good until September but I just don’t know if I am ready to go back this year.
Beautiful photos! I know China can be a challenging place to travel at times. BUt also at time a very beautiful one.
Gorgeous photos! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome photos. I have been to China for my honeymoon in 2006 and I think it was very different to what it is now post the Olympics. I loved it, but only got the chance to see four places. (Beijing, Xian, Guilin and Hong Kong) There is so much more to explore, especially the Yunnan province, and I love the look of the giant buddha. Looks absolutely incredible! Really makes me want to go back now!
Just too freaking awesome! I love all these High definition photos from your travel! Looks increddible for the giant buddha! did you go using travel packages?
Thanks Jason! No, I didn’t use any travel packages in China. I’m more into independent travel.
I just wanna say the yunnan one was really really incredible…
wow!! yeah really great photos!!
