Follow Us on Our Journey
Below you will find our travel itinerary. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we will be setting off from Beijing on June 16th 2008, and ending in Hong Kong on July 26th 2008. Realistically speaking, however, our dates and destinations will most likely fluctuate. The trip will take us from Northern China to Southern China following the Eastern seaboard. Or, if you are partial to the rooster analogy of China, we’ll be traveling from the Neck to the Gut following the outline of the Belly.

Hope you guys are still feeling well. In Nanjing there is a memorial to the Nanjing massacre. Not a light subject but worth seeing. http://www.nj1937.org/english/default.asp
Otherwise purple mountain and Sun Yat-Sen’s tomb is nice to visit – but be warned there are many stairs- maybe hard on quadriceps begging for relief.
