April 5/6 fly Victoria to Beijing. The Vancouver/Beijing leg of the trip is direct, about 12 hours.
April 6 - 20 (2 weeks) in Beijing. I'll be studying Chinese part-time at Hutong School, and the rest of the time seeing the sights and breathing the fresh clean air of Beijing!
April 20 - May 4 (2 weeks) travel from Beijing to Xi'An. Visit a few interesting places along the way, such as Datong, Luoyang, Kaifeng, 等等 ... I'll decide when I'm there and hopefully get some good advice from my new Chinese friends :-)
May 4 - May 18 (2 weeks) explore Xi'An and the surrounding vacinity. Possibly hike the Hua Shan trail!
May 18 - 25 (1 week) take the train to Chengdu and explore the city. Also taste all the fine Sichuan cuisine! 请不太辣！我就是加拿大人。(Not too spicy please, I'm Canadian!)
May 25 - June 1 (1 week) travel to Kunming, stopping at Dali and Lijiang.
June 1 - 8 (1 week) visit Kunming and see the sights.
June 8 - 22 (2 weeks) travel to Shanghai. Where to visit along the way? For sure Guilin. Possibly take a Yangtze cruise from Chongqing to Yichang, and then fly to Shanghai ... See how I feel (and how my wallet is holding up).
June 22 - 25 (a few days) visit Shanghai.
June 25/26 fly home to Victoria via Beijing and Vancouver. Due to a curious space/time continuum I leave Beijing June 26 at 16:05 and arrive in Vancouver 4 hours earlier.
