It ended up being the final destination of our trip. We were supposed to spend two-three weeks three. We ended up spending one full month. We had planned to go to Beijing, Shanghai and then all the way to Lhasa. We ended up visiting Beijing and Shanghai as well as very rural areas in Hunan province, multicultural Gansu province, historical Xi’an in Shanxi province, and enchanting Jiangsu province.<br /> If you have followed us so far, you will have expected this post with an attempt of a summary of our Chinese experience in seven questions. </p></div> </div> <div> <div>Tags</div> <div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/35" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">#Asia FW’17</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/120" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">China =</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/23" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">Travelling</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/71" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">Train exploration</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/32" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">Learning</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/42" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">questions</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/66" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">Answers</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/67" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">Sharing</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/68" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">Smiling</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/69" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">Roots</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/29" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">Connections</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/121" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">monastery</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/122" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">farming</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/62" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">SocEnt</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/123" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">huge</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/124" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">diverse</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/125" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">portable knife</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/126" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">beard</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/127" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">agriculture</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/128" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">club</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/129" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">smoking</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/130" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">internet</a></div> <div><a href="/taxonomy/term/131" property="schema:about" hreflang="en">WeChat</a></div> </div> </div> Sat, 13 Jan 2018 11:48:02 +0000 alessandra 24 at http://www.abcity.org http://www.abcity.org/blog/our-mongolian-experience-snapshot <span property="schema:name">Our Mongolian experience in a snapshot</span> <div> <div>Image</div> <div> <img property="schema:image" src="/sites/default/files/styles/resp_im_685/public/2017-11/abcity_website_00_mongolia.jpg?itok=G8qBMfqr" width="685" height="320" alt="Mongolia flag with assessment criteria" loading="lazy" typeof="foaf:Image" /> </div> </div> <span rel="schema:author"><span lang="" about="/user/4" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">alessandra</span></span> <span property="schema:dateCreated" content="2017-11-14T03:18:35+00:00">14.November.2017 - 04:18 CET</span> <div> <div>Summary</div> <div><p>A couple of weeks ago, we wrote that it was not easy to put our <a href="http://abcity.org/blog/our-russian-experience-snapshot">Transsiberian experience in writing</a> and make a summary of it.
