JABAROOTOO's Travel Journals (77)
Shandong
August 20, 2006 - August 21, 2006
Weihai - Another of Shandongs northern ports and beach resorts with a demoralizing naval history that would have sunk a peoples of lessor character
Shandong
August 17, 2006 - August 18, 2006
Penglai - Once a secret Naval base on the Shandong coast - is a facinating coastal town with enough to keep you busy for a few days.
Yantai
August 15, 2006 - August 23, 2006
A beach resort on the Shandong Peninsular. This was to be my base for the next week of exploration to Penglai, Weihai and Chengshantou.
Shandong
August 14, 2006 - August 15, 2006
Weifeng is where I got off the train in the middle of the night. When dawn arrived I felt no inclination to stay and search for what I had come to see there and caught the first bus out to the coast
Beijing
August 6, 2006 - August 14, 2006
Back in Beijing I finally had a chance to visit the Forbidden City and the Great Wall experience was something else again to add to my collection of 'walls'
Nanjing
July 11, 2006 - August 5, 2006
More than once the southern capital of China Nanjing is a great city and a summer camp was a good opportunity to check it out.
Jiangxi
July 9, 2006 - July 11, 2006
Lushan is definately worth a second visit and catching up with friends made it all the sweeter.
Jiujiang
July 7, 2006 - July 9, 2006
Stopping here on the Yangtze River was meant to be brief but it was worth spending some time to look around while we waited for the weather to clear.
Wuhan
July 5, 2006 - July 7, 2006
My second visit here included the Hubei Provincial Museum, East Lake and other city sites during another sizzling summer.
Yichang
July 4, 2006 - July 5, 2006
Another longer stop over in this city of massive dams.
