I've been on quite a few trips to different parts of China. Every trip is a totally new experience, regardless of whether it was summer (hot!) or winter (brrr…). Here are some photos of the places I've gone to. Don't expect to see me anywhere in the photos though…
Note: As usual, click on any photo for an enlarged version.
