Journey update: .. Taiwan > Hong Kong > Beijing > Harbin > Yanji > Songjianghe >Changbai Mountain > Dandong > Dalian > Dandong > Chengde > Beijing > Datong > Hohhot > Huitengxile > Hohhot > Taiyuan > Zhengzhou > Xi'an > Lanzhou > Zhangye ....

We've now burnt our China photo's onto CD. We had a chance to upload some of them onto my Flickr account before re-sizeing them in MSPaint! These are our favourites, which was very difficult as we have so many we really love. If we get enough feedback we might post some more here.

Otherwise our parents will have a copy of all the photos in a couple of months!


The first stop in Hong Kong from Taiwan. Here is the sunset at the harbour, followed by fireworks and a light show.


The still loved Mao Zedong looking down on Tian'annem Square, Beijing.


Bloody rain getting in my eyes on the Great Wall. Slippery fun.


Breath-taking Changbaishan, volcano crater lake.


The famous mullet man of Dandong, giving the singing a break while he downs more beer.


Inside the Imperial Summer Villa, Chengde, we watch the sunset.


The incredible Yungang Grottoes at Datong. Buddhas and the like were carved into the rock face, easy as its soft rock but hard to paint, so they stuck mud to it and painted that. Clever!


Inner Mongolia, riding the horses the day after my other one broke down. Sporting my pubey beard!


Only in China, the warmest family invited us to stay in their house. Apple, the daughter, is the sweetest child I've met!


Shaolin Monks look out, I'm kicking some serious butt at the Pagoda Forest in the Shaolin Monastery! Watch those pussy monks run.


Kate on her birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Eating steamed rice with peanut butter dusting and seeds. Kate also has massive eyes, crickey!



And all these photo's plus loads from Taiwan are on my Flickr account:
