Tentative travel plans for May
The Canadian's parents will be visiting China in May and we're pondering where we should go in addition to taking them around Beijing.
阳朔 Yangshuo looks nice. We're thinking of staying at the Yangshuo Mountain Retreat that's not far from Guilin 桂林 - the place with the very famous karst peaks and rocky skyline that most people associate with China.
We can also visit the 龍脊梯田 Dragon's Backbone Rice Terraces that I've been wanting to see very much.
More photos are here and here.
I'd also like to take them to 丽江 Lijiang in Yunnan province. I've been to 丽江 Lijiang before, but I didn't have a camera then.
Finally, we'll go to Chengdu to see the pandas at the Panda Base, although if we have time we will certainly try to visit the pandas at Wolong. The thing about Wolong is that the road is still damaged from the Sichuan earthquake, so there could be difficulties getting through. Nonetheless, we'll make sure that they see pandas.
As usual, the issue will be whether or not:
(1) I can get leave
(2) if I get leave, does it get cancelled because of work :P
