The first big step is done, we have bought the tickets to China.
Our current plan is to fly into Shanghai from Europe, from there we will fly to Datong (Hanging monastry), take a night train to Beijing, fly to Xining, take a 24 hour train to Lasha (Tibet), fly to Chengdu (Giant Panda), fly to Xi’an (Terra-cotta Warriors), fly to Guilin (cruise on Li river), fly to Huangshan (Great mountain view) and then fly back to Shanghai before we go back to Europe.
We have not ordered anything of the trip in China so this plan can be changed. But we are 99% sure about the places we would like to visit.
