back to China

  1. Nothin' like relaxing on a Yangtze river boat cruise to see changes that the New China is bringing. Old towns are being taken down to make way for the flooding due to the Three Gorges Dam and new towns are popping up outta nowhere. They even have bars to drink too much in and then...

  4. Rough it up with Lonely Planet author Michael Kohn as he adventures through the Beijing loop of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Travel with the locals from Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia to Beijing, China all the way to Ulan Ude, Russia. Sleep on three tiered bunks, ballroom dance on the streets of Beijing, brave some snake elixir and spend endless hours riding through the raw countryside.

  9. You won't get much sleep in this slicker city. Plenty of time to fill up on its legendary dim sum.
