Confused?

Well, you probably will be by the time I finish blogging about the trip we took with our parents (and at the rate I'm going that could take years, lets be honest). Unless you are pretty familiar with the geography of China, my ramblings will probably need some sort of key, so here it is! 

Our parents flew into Beijing. In Beijing we saw the Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Great Wall

We took a sleeper train to stop 2, Xi'an. Home of the Terracotta Warriors

We then flew to Guilin, took a shuttle down to Yangshou. In Yangshou we shopped and biked around the countryside.

We then took a train to Dong'an (this is where we would lose even the most ardent China geographer) and we effectively freaked out my mom. 

Then another flight to Hong Kong (Chinese New Year made train tickets nearly impossible to find), and this is where our parents took a plane back to the States, and we sleeper trained it back to the sticks.

Hope that helps with the posts below, and the posts to come!
