China. On this page, I put links to various blog posts on our recent trips to China. China is developing at lightning speed. Always fascinating to visit.
2019 - Trip to Xi'An, including Terracotta Warriors!
In May 2019, my wife and I decided to make a trip to Xi'An. It would be our first trip to central/Northwest China and we really didn't know what to expect. (hey, China is a big place!). It turned out to be a fantastic trip. Xi'An is a beautiful city, no doubt about that. And very modern too, as there have been lots of investments in this city.
We flew on China Eastern in their Business class.
We stayed at the Sheraton Xi'An North, a very nice & conveniently located hotel.
Here are links to the various blog posts.
