Northern Capital Revisited

I left Lhasa by plane (from here on out, no more train rides for the remainder of my journey), headed back to Beijing with a quick stop in Chonqing. The airport in Lhasa is quite unique - it's about 65km from Lhasa and sits by itself with nary a thing around it except some dormitory-looking...

Pals, People, and Palace

I survived the 54 hour trip and arrived in Lhasa in one piece! The two things I wanted the most were a nice, comfortable room, and a hot shower. There was a bit of snafu with the hotel I booked online (turned out they can't accept foreigners. Then why the hell do they have a English website?)....

Mission Accomplished - Part 1

Time for another update! I'm back in Urumqi after spending the last 4 days in Kanas Lake, and I gotta say it was well worth the 11 hour bus ride each way! First, a little bit about Urumqi. It is the capital of Xinjiang province and the farthest place from an ocean in the world, but the...

Unbearable Hotness of Being

From Dunhuang it's a two-hour car ride to the train station in Liuyuan, which barely qualifies as a station - one platform, one major street, 2 'restaurants', and a hotel charging by hours for train travellers waiting for their departure. Once on the train, I noticed that my fellow passengers...

Can I Find a Town in US Just Like It?

I headed to the train station in Xi'an for my 22 hour train ride to Dunhuang. According to Lonely Planet, "the fertile Dunhuang oasis has long been a welcome sight for weary Silk Road travellers. Most visitors only stayed long enough to swap camels and have a feed; others settled down and built...

Frederick and Saul, Contact Me!

We had a great last few nights in Beijing! Met some neat people (Thanks for a great few days Frederick, Ida, Saul, and Christian!!!) and saw and experienced some truly memorable moments. I will wait to post the pictures until I hear back from the folks above. Hosteling this trip has turned out...

Drowning in Humidity

I've been in Xi'an for two days now, and to tell you the truth, I don't quite know what to make of it. Getting here, however, was quite an adventure. The train ride from Beijing to Xi'an took about 10 hours. To get to the train station in Beijing, I hopped on a taxi, which was basically a...

China,We Finally Meet

After 30 hours of travel I finally made it to Beijing last night, although my stay is a short one as I'm heading to Xi'an tonight by train. The trip from Capital Airport to the hostel was uneventful, although the humidity hit me like a bucket of water as soon as I stepped outside. The first...
