smile, you are in china!
Discovering new parts of China, our home country since three years. It's just so damn far to the west parts that we never had the chance to go there. Now, traveling from Hong Kong all the way to Kazakhstan passing Dimen village, meeting students in Sichuan and nomads in Tibet. More than 22,000 kilometers traveled on land, 10 nights on overnight trains and 3 nights on sleeper buses. Highlight: second day of the train ride from Tibet to Urumqi, spotting yaks in the morning and camels in the sunset. Now, we're back for a trip through the Taklamakan desert up to Beijing.
