On to Hong Kong
After spending some time in the mountains, Colletta moves on along
the Tibetan border and on to Hong Kong.
03:
Buddha, mountains, and birthdays
"Rather than moving directly down to the south corner
of China we decided to make a detour last weekend, and spend a few
days at holy Buddhist sites."
02:
Beyond Beijing
"I left Beijing on Saturday 9th July, and have gradually
been working South West through China via jerky and often hot sleeper
trains."
01:
Beijing - City of contrasts
"Outside the ringroad though the city is growing so
rapidly, with huge skyrises offices and apartments, and 8 lane motorways
everywhere you look."
