China Tour Itinerary - Easter 2009
I'll soon be flying off to beautiful China... yiipiee... can't wait. Having visited in 2002 I remember vividly being enthralled by its striking landscapes (Guilin's Li River is still, to this day, my 3rd favourite place on earth) and fascinated by its medicinal knowledge -- SO far ahead of the West. I mean, their first anaesthetic was performed in the year of Jesus Christ, the first British one took place in 1846. Need I say more?
Here is below a skeleton summary of what my sister Nathalie & I will soon be up to:
9 April - BA day flight from London (LHR) to Beijing. Dep 12.50.
10th - arr. Beijing at 5.45am. No plans, but hoping to have the time / energy to visit the Forbidden City & Summer Palace.
11th - Great Wall expedition. Would love to slide down it !
Flight to Kunming (18.05 - 21.30).
12th - Kunming: Stone Forest expedition (Black Dragon Pool, etc)
13th - Kunming, at leisure. Stone Forest again?
Flight to Guilin 18.20 - 19.30.
May do some bamboo rafting at sunset?
14th - Guilin - Li River Cruise to Yangshuo (my soul will soar !!). Explore surrounding area on bicycle. After dinner go and see cormorant fishing by locals, at sunset.
15th - Guilin a.m. (Diecai Hill) and then off to Hangzhou - 13.05 - 14.50. Going to visit the Lingyin Temple and then have dinner with my good pal Tian who's currently based there.
16th - Hangzhou - boat ride on the West Lake, Six Harmonies Pagoda, etc. See Tian again.
17th - 10am train from Hangzhou to Shanghai (arr. 11.18). Visit the beautiful old town and the Yuyuan Garden. Having dinner with a French/Chinese couple I met in Palau !
