China travel plan: From the Avatar Mountains to Hong Kong (13 days)
Thirteen days across southern China, from the mountains all the way to the sea. After Chongqing come three days in the Zhangjiajie mountains (Heaven's Gate, the “Avatar” stone pillars and the glass bridge over the canyon), the waterfall town of Furong, a cruise on the Li River through the karst hills of Guilin and Yangshuo, and finally Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Every stage brings a new landscape and a new cuisine, from fiery hotpot to dim sum. You fly home from Hong Kong, so there's no trek back across the country. What surprised us most was China's technological progress, best seen in Shenzhen, the electronics capital right on the Hong Kong border.
