25.01.2022 One of the highlights of our time in China was seeing the Terracotta Warriors near Xian. I had never realised before each had a different face such amazing works of art and a fascinating history to them as well.

24.01.2022 The Red Pandas are pretty cute too

22.01.2022 The Buddhist Monastery of Erdene Zuu. The monastery was established in 1586 and was the first in Mongolia. At its peak it had 1,000 monks, up to 100 temples and about 300 Gers within the walls

16.01.2022 The highlight of Chengdu is a visit to the Pandas just so much fun to watch them at play.

16.01.2022 I love seeing weddings while we are traveling this bride was at the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. I am always happy when they stay with their cultural traditions such as wearing red.

16.01.2022 There was a group of young people guarding the War Memorial in Irkutz I was fascinated by the bows in the girl’s hair as part of their uniforms

16.01.2022 My apricot is blooming here reminding me of our Spring when we were in Beijing I loved seeing the blossoms

15.01.2022 Dongyue Temple in Beijing filled with great colour and graphic reminders that we pay for the life we lead in the afterlife

15.01.2022 Next and last stop in China was Beijing, I snapped these two in the Forbidden City. The colours of their clothing was so vibrant I could not resist.

15.01.2022 And onto Russia Irkutz in Siberia was our first stop such a change from Asia

14.01.2022 Dongyue Temple in Beijing

10.01.2022 The Great Wall of China through the leafless trees

09.01.2022 Next stop Chengdu and a night at the Opera

09.01.2022 Chengdu was an interesting place to visit the locals were friendly, so friendly in fact they followed us around taking photos of us all the time while we were exploring the markets we came across this area.

09.01.2022 And onto Mongolia, and the most famous Mongolian of course is Ghengis Khan

09.01.2022 Khustain Nuruu National Park, where the Przewalski’s horse has been reintroduced after becoming extinct in the wild around 1966.

08.01.2022 The Summer Palace in Beijing was such a peaceful place to visit Not so busy as many places in Beijing

07.01.2022 I loved the contrast of the greens and reds in this photo taken at the markets in Chengdu

05.01.2022 How cool are these boots, the old man where we stayed still wears all the traditional clothing.

04.01.2022 Our memories of the Great Wall of China are quite unique as we were treated to a guitar concert by Mike Dawes who is world famous for his style. So other than my surprise at there being many stairs(I had envisioned it to be smooth and undulating) this was a postive.

02.01.2022 We spent a couple of days exploring with a night with a nomadic family it was fascinating to see how they live.
