This year like last year we decided to visit China again. Our trip consists of visiting our relatives in Fenggang 风岗镇, Dongguan 东莞市, Guangdong 广东省. We then took a flight to Xi’An 西安市 to check out the Terracotta Warriors. I personally wanted to compare Xi’An with Rome, Italy which we visited last year with this 3100 years old city that was the capital of 13 Chinese dynasties including the dynasties from the Qin to the Tang Dynasty. We also took the sights and climbed Hua Shan 华山. After Hua Shan, we will be visiting Wuyishan 武夷山市 in Fujian 福建省. We will be visiting several other cities in Fujian, including: Fuzhou 福州市, Quanzhou 泉州市. We then say goodbye to Fujian, and back to Guangdong province and visit my mom’s ancestral city Meizhou 梅州市. Another relatives visit in Hong Kong 香港, then cross the border again to mainland China to Zhuhai 珠海市. After all of this travelling, we will then settle for our remaining days at Jiangmen 江门市, my dad’s ancestral city.
Below are the video records that we took during the trip. If you are reading this before December 12th, then these videos will be updated as we journey through the above itinerary.
