Today we were heading back to Chongqing, but first we would spend the day visiting a beautiful national park. We decided to have a relaxing morning first, so we took a walk around the resort again—it was beautiful in the morning, but it was starting to get hot by the...
What a name! Fairy Goddess Mountain. I was thankful that Wendy helped me to find and plan pretty much our entire adventure outside of Chongqing. Getting out of the city and into the mountains was wonderful even though it was a bit of a long trip. We left our hotel...
Jack and Clara left today, but they had some recommendations for things that we could try. I always love following someone else’s plan because that means I don’t have to make my own and it’s a plan that has been tried and proven successful! Wendy and I also learned...
Clara had some ideas for things we wanted to do today, but thankfully we got to sleep in first. I also wanted to wash some clothes, so while I waited for my friends, I washed some of my clothes in the bathroom sink. I didn’t expect to like washing clothes so...
After breakfast, the boat crew told us that we needed to be off the ship by 8:30 a.m.! Not much time for a relaxing morning today. Ruby and I packed up and headed out. Since I am traveling for 3 weeks, I have a big suitcase, and as soon as we checked out, an older man...

I’m not sure how I missed the fact that the main attraction of the cruise we took was not the Three Gorges Dam but the Three Gorges. And I’m glad I didn’t realize how incredibly beautiful it would be because I loved the surprise! The most famous part of the trip was...
Here I am nearly halfway through my grand adventure through Chongqing and Sichuan. My friend for this part of the trip left, and I’m alone for a couple of days before I head to Chengdu to meet other friends. I’m a bit tired, and I was looking forward to a couple of...
I thought our ship would leave today since this is supposed to be a river cruise, but as of the evening of the day after boarding, we still haven’t moved. Thankfully, the boat next to us moved so now we can see the mountains on the other side of the river instead of...
Today begins an adventure that has been in the making for a while. I’ve wanted to travel more in China for a long time, and since I went home in the winter this year, I figured this summer would be a perfect time to go to some places that I’ve been wanting to see in...
