Pandas! Great food! Great wall! Forbidden city! Hakka houses! Trekking! Rice terraces! Tibet! Yangzi river cruise! Sparkling Hong Kong! Amazing Shanghai! Meditation! Lovely kids!
And only 3 weeks… to get the most of one of world’s oldest cultures. more than 4 thousands years of history in 21 days! Oh God! Why didn’t you make weeks longer? Life is so cruel!
The plan for my first trip to China is:
Landing in Beijing, head directly to Donghuamen night market and get lost into the food zoo! Wake up against the time lag and delight my camera with the colors of Panjiayuan market. After this great introduction, Great Wall day trip here I am!!!! I’m coming with all my winter gear to trek the biggest wall China has got to the world!
Before leaving Beijing, I’ll taste the sin in the Forbidden City, purify my soul in Lama Temple and simple breath and feel the joy of being again in Asia!
Xi’an! Terracotta Warriors and more food at Muslim Quarter!
Pandas, now it’s time to introduce myself: Anca, your fan #1! Get ready to pose for me and with me! Lovely teddy bears, book your time to be awake for me!
Well.. they say that if you meet the angels it means you are in the Heaven. And there I’ll be for more than a week: Lijiang, Shangri La, Guiling, Dragon Backbone Rice Terraces and end up with a short visit to Hakka round houses. I’ll trek, get lost into the stunning landscapes, breath fresh air, learn from locals, be with locals, live China!
My trip will end in sparkling Hong Kong. Fireworks over Victoria harbor on New Year, Macau, and more food! Double decker tram! Culinary delights – places of perdition, I can’t wait for you!!!!
China, open well your arms and chest of goodies coz Anca is coming to live you!!!
