Jumping off at the bus stop in Chengdu after our adventure in Tibet.
Walking around downtown Kangding, China.
More hiking in Tagong — fjording a river in the snow storm edition.
We made it to the Tibetan village of Tagong, high up in the mountains, where we visited a monastery after a lengthy hike fighting altitude weakness.
Hiking (or riding, really) up Paoma Shan in Kangding. Some awesome views, and a great first day of our Tibet adventure.
We go up and up and up on the bus from Chengdu to Kangding — the starting point for our Tibet adventure.
Supermarkets of the world series – Chengdu, China grocery shopping.
Riding around Chengdu in a car (!) with our gracious and lovely host ShanShan. In the video we pass by the main square – Tianfu.
Hanging out on the train as we journey from Wuhan to Chengdu. We purchased “hard sleep” births, which are equivalent to Russia’s third class, “platskart.”
Checking out the campus of Science and Technology University in Wuhan China. Only something like 60,000 people live on campus. There are 38 (!) canteens.
The city of Wuhan in Hubei Province of China is so big! We are taking a ferry from one part – Wuchang, to another – Hankou. Bonus: it’s on the Yangtze River!
