A hectic few days as we cross two borders (twice) and participate in a fundraising event with Free Lunch for Children. Great time wandering around Macau, even making some money while we're there. Lots of time commuting while in Hong Kong though.

We spend a day at one of Free Lunch for Children's partner schools, meeting the kids, handing out toys, and learning more about the program.

Every day seems to bring a change in climate and scenery. We put the coast behind us heading back inland towards a charity event at a little rural mountain school in Guangxi. Oh yeah, we also ate some snails!

A couple easy days as we make it to two destinations we had been looking forward to for a long time. The beautiful old towns of Lijiang and Dali gave us an opportunity to take it easy for once and even got to enjoy some delicious western food!

Busy days out of Chongqing- Expressways, farmland, planned and unplanned Giant Buddha visits, all topped up with some spectacular remote canyon driving through southern Sichuan.

A couple short days as we take a visit to another famous Buddhist attraction along the old Silk Road. Turned out to be a great visit despite it being during the busiest travel season in China as we accidentally find ourselves on a secluded mountain hike!

After an unplanned day off in Jiayuguan, we head to an unplanned tourist destination in the desert to enjoy an oasis, buddha caves, a sunset from a sand mountain, and, eventually, a blown tire.

Got a late start today as we waited for one last package to be delivered before hitting the road. When we did, we unexpectedly got drawn into a funeral ceremony and the dinner afterwards.

A couple relatively leisurely days as we make our way towards the eastern most part of our journey at Harbin where we took a well earned rest day to enjoy some of the sites and local architecture.

Got hit hard with rain today as we cut back our originally planned route again to take shelter from mother nature.
