In October 2013, I went to the People's Republic of China, which resulted in the visit of my 7th country.
This made it my:
- 1st country and time in Asia
- 1st country with Chinese as its official language
Visit
I went with a tour group. In each city, we would hop on a bus and visit some sights. At the time, in 2013, the only fast way to go between cities was the domestic flight. There were talks of China building a nationwide high-speed train network.
I visited the following cities and sights:
- Beijing
- Tiananmen Square
- Forbidden City
- Great Wall
- Xi'an
- Terra Cotta soldiers
- Chongqing
- Chongqing panda zoo
- Yangtze River cruise
- Three Gorges dam
- Wuhan
- Guilin
- Yangshuo
- Shanghai
