So sorry for not having updates but I will be slowly working on it now. But I suppose that I will give the one of the bigger updates.
About a week ago we found out that our teaching was going to ending a week earlier. So that we end teaching on the 24th rather than the 1st that we were anticipating. We looked at our options and saw that we could either move our flight one weeks earlier to the 4th for $170 or use that money to do some more traveling in China. We choose the later and this is our plan:
Monday – June 27th: Travel from the school in a taxi to Jishou and then take a bus to Fenghuang. Fenghaung is a town just south of Jishou that a lot of people have said is quite beautiful. It is a older town that has many homes and building by the river that are built on stilts. We will stay the night in Fenghaung.
Tuesday – June 28th: Wake up early and take a bus back to Jishou. Once we get to Jishou we will take a 10:51 am train to Nanyang which arrives at 8:50 pm. We will then board the 9:24 pm train to Xi’an.
Wed – Friday – June 29th thru July 1st: We will arrive at 7:14 am in Xi’an and there we will stay until Friday seeing the sights. One thing the Xi’an is famous for is the Terracotta Warriors, perhaps one of the greatest archaeological finds in Chinese history.
To be continued tomorrow. I can’t focus right now…
