The ship docked in Hong Kong, stayed for two days, and then left for transit to Shanghai. Students and community were given the option of travelling overland to meet the ship in Shanghai or travelling for two days on a quiet ship with no classes. We travelled overland by first taking a train to Guangzhou, China. Even though Hong Kong is now officially part of China, it has its own currency and its own immigration system. The train ride was considered an international trip.
From Guangzhou we flew to Guilin. From Guilin we arranged the hour drive to Yangshuo. We could have spent weeks in Yangshuo. What a beautiful, peaceful spot.
Fabulous pictures! I like your choice of international trip.
ReplyDeleteI'm listening to the football game as I write this...GSHS 12 - Canon City 6. Make that GSHS 18! The sun is behind the mountain, and it's incredibly cold, the players are muddy, and the fans are loud.
