- Toshi came to Changchun I was too late going to the train ticket office on Thursday night, so I got to the station as early as possible on Friday morning. Toshi, my friend I met in Shanghai last year was meeting Posted by baixing in No Fixed Address | Oct 14, 2018
- Postscript: Observations on ChinaThe modernisation of China has been intense. Twenty years ago when I first visited there were few private cars, or cars in general, millions of bicycles but now there are tens of millions of cars and trucks. The ruling Posted by Unphilteredidea in UnPhiltered Thoughts | Oct 13, 2018
- Xi’an, the best of the rest and the end of a chapterThe Big Goose Temple was worth a trip, the pagoda was quite impressive, in a nice park and the temple was extensively used. [img=https://photos.trave Posted by Unphilteredidea in UnPhiltered Thoughts | Oct 7, 2018
- Xi’an and the Terracotta Army, worth the wait without doubtWe arrived in Xi’an mid afternoon and just hung out. The hotel was in a very posh retail area but turned out to be close to the old town, city walls and Muslim quarter. Great albeit weird food available throughout Posted by Unphilteredidea in UnPhiltered Thoughts | Oct 7, 2018
- I unexpectedly spent 10 days in Tianjin Sept. 26 It's National Week again and I decided at the last second to go to Tianjin. The only train tickets available were at really stupid times. I arrived at midnight, and then went back home at 4 Posted by baixing in No Fixed Address | Oct 6, 2018
- The roof of the world, train trip from Lhasa to Xi’anThe trip started eventfully, being told 5 minutes before reached the station that you were not allowed to travel with knifes, scissors or aerosols, even if they were in your main luggage. Security was very tight, much stricter than at Posted by Unphilteredidea in UnPhiltered Thoughts | Oct 6, 2018
- Bumpy Road to Namtso LakeWe had an early start for the 250km drive to Namtso Lake. Set at 4850m, the route involved some interesting roads including climbing over a pass at 5190m. It isn’t generally a good idea to climb more than about 500m Posted by Unphilteredidea in UnPhiltered Thoughts | Oct 5, 2018
- Lhasa, the capital at the top of the world.We flew to Lhasa, a flight of about two hours, landing at 3700m, which felt like hard work. Lhasa, which means "Land of the Gods" and is over 1,300 years old, sits in a valley right next to the Lhasa Posted by Unphilteredidea in UnPhiltered Thoughts | Oct 4, 2018
- Shangri-La part twoToday we were doing culture, we started with a walk up to the Hundred Chickens Temple although it now seemed to be the one chicken and 99 pigs version. As well as being amazed at the architecturally smart, solar and Posted by Unphilteredidea in UnPhiltered Thoughts | Sep 30, 2018
- Shangri-La, a lost horizon part oneThe road to Shangri-La was along the Yangtze Valley for about 300km, past the entrance to Tiger Leaping Gorge rising through spectacular high passes with hairy roads up to the city at 3200m. All that for £7.20 on a local Posted by Unphilteredidea in UnPhiltered Thoughts | Sep 29, 2018
- Leaving ChinaSo, we have left China. We enjoyed travelling in China. It is surely an interesting country and much easier to navigate than we had thought. We quite enjoyed the food too. Obviously its reality is very complex, so here are some Posted by Flav-Greg in Flavia & Gregory go Asia | Sep 28, 2018
- YangshuoQuite a trek to get here - 10.5 hours on the high speed train, then 1 hour on the bus - but actually the journey went quite quickly and was very comfortable. You can get boiled water on tap on Posted by Flav-Greg in Flavia & Gregory go Asia | Sep 26, 2018
- Zhangye, Lanzhou and back to Beijing Zhangye At a ridiculously early hour, we got on the train to Zhangye in the province of Gansu. Fortunately, this was a clean high-speed train with ample leg room and given that the journey took seven hours (despite travelling at around Posted by rebecca.banks21 in Seoul searching | Sep 26, 2018
- "I can (almost) see Russia from my hostel!" I took my regular 11 o'clock train to Harbin again. This time I was headed to the frozen north. The extreme top of China. The last stop before Russia. I had to switch trains from the west Posted by baixing in No Fixed Address | Sep 24, 2018
- Lijiang, the Phoenix from the earthquakeAnother interesting journey to our next destination. A local minibus to a hub town (50mins) then a bigger bus for about 1.5hrs. You really start to understand the scale of infrastructure investment with new motorways, railways and urban development on Posted by Unphilteredidea in UnPhiltered Thoughts | Sep 23, 2018
- My Stomach Vs MeJust when One thought, HHHmmm, life is so cool! What more do I need. Then ones appetite speaks for itself. Hotpot, I neeeeeeeeeeeed hotpot! There , there little stomach.

- Xi’anOur journey on the high speed train was good, nice and comfortable, speed about 240 km/h. When we arrived in Xi’an we thankfully took a taxi, even though I had understood that the 7sages Hostel was only about 1 km south Posted by Flav-Greg in Flavia & Gregory go Asia | Sep 21, 2018

- Shaxi, a rural haven from the madnessShaxi is a very small town about 180km from Dali. It has some well preserved traditional buildings and was a centre of the Tea and Horse caravan trail linking India with the Silk Road.

- PingyaoLast night we took our first (and thankfully last) night train. We shared our soft sleeper berth with a young Chinese couple who managed to both sleep in the bottom narrow bed! They were very sweet and gave us snacks Posted by Flav-Greg in Flavia & Gregory go Asia | Sep 19, 2018
