My friend from Minnesota arrived last Saturday and we have been "on the go!" After showing her around Xi'an we hired a taxi to explore some villages and the Famen Buddist Temple about 1 hour from Xi'an and it was incredible. We then flew to Beijing for a few days of hiking and sight seeing ... Everything looked a little different in the winter and the day after we left bad smog and a snow storm hit so we were lucky.
From Beijing we went to Shanghai and enjoyed the BIG modern city of skyscrapers, walked along the Bund, visited markets and parks and a great museum. We are now in tropical Sanya and had fun on monkey island, the beach, and walking along the river. Today we are headed to "The end of the earth" according to ancient Chinese tradition, and exploring another beach. Hot and very relaxing. Yea!
