Trip back in time.... Once upon a time in China..

It's been a while since Kel & I took a trip alone just the two of us... it's always been trips hm or family visit or with friends..

A really good visit back to our roots and also practice for my Chinese... haven't used it for a while... it's pretty amazing what our ancestors have been up to in the olden days. A chance to immerse ourselves with all the artifacts and history, legends.. stories and amazing stunning views to be shared..

Some of our best moments here to be shared....
