About this blog

We have completed our 8wks backpacking trip along the Silkroad & Northern/Southern exotic Xinjiang last Aug-Sep. Real excited on sharing them here!

Through the 8 weeks, we have experienced the 4 seasons: summer, spring, autumn & winter at different locations along the way & we would summaries it as: China is REAL BIG, SPEECHLESS BEAUTIFUL SIGHTS, POWERFUL NATURE, ENDLESS MEMORIES and you sure need a strong body, mind & soul to experience, feel & capture everything in sight..

This was a tough, tired & long trip, but it's worthy & it's one of all our "ONCE IN A LIFETIME" thingi we have done with no regrets.

Special thanks to Mr Yu(GM), Fei-Er(Trip Specialist) of GUODAO EXPLORER for their expertises/advices.(www.enjoyxinjiang.com)
