Where do I begin?  The first time I was in China was back in 2001 for a study abroad program.  I’ve always wanted to go back, but the timing was always off.  I had the opportunity to visit again and would like to share a few images from my trip.

It was a 9 day tour through Guilin and Zhangjiajie and not a minute was wasted.  Let’s start with a few images from Guilin and then make our way to Zhangjiajie…

Elephant Trunk Hill – it resembles an elephant dipping its snout into the river

The Silver Cave is a limestone caved with amazing stalactites and stalagmites that have formed over the centuries. Some of the stalactites shine like silver and that is how the cave got its name.

I loved their outfits!

This is one of 3 cable car rides I was on while on tour.

Here are a few images as we walk through a little village in Guilin.

Now we are making our way to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, but first a quick scenic stop.

This book is really old, too bad I can’t remember how old…

We had dinner at this really cool runway themed restaurant.  During dinner service, there is an actual runway show featuring some of the latest fashions in China!

Here is a view from the Tianmenshan Cable Car in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

The world’s first natural bridge according to the tour guide.

This trip was truly breathtaking.  I’ve climbed more stairs than I ever wanted to and ate more than I probably should.   Now the big questions in…where to go next!
