WHEN TO GO, AND WHEN NOT TO GO TO CHINA

ESPAÑOL

In those gigantic countries where the main points of interest are hundreds, if not thousands of kilometers away from each other, knowing how to choose when to go can mean the difference between a magnificent experience or a hellish journey.

ZHANGJIAJIE (张家界)

ESPAÑOL

  • We were here: October 12, 2018.

ESPAÑOL

CHONGQING CITY

ESPAÑOL

  • We were here: half a day in October 2018.

Unknown to the world and yet, this province is a treasure within China. Continue reading “Sichuan (四川)”
