I spent six months in China, May to late October. Most of that time was I was in Xi'an. Fortunately I was able to travel extensively, primarily by rail and visited Beijing, Tianjn, Dalian, Hefei, Anhui, Suzhou, Wuhan, the Yangtze Three Gorges, Chongqing, Guiyang, Guizhou, Huangguoshu water falls, and varous other places. I crossed the Boahai Sea on an overnight ship. Along the way I met interesting and friendly people. Everyone in China was very nice and helpful. These are my memories of the time.
