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!

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

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!
