We've booked our flights from Zhengzhou to Kunming (Yunnan province, southern China) for Friday 7 January at 7.30pm. We'll finish teaching at lunch time and head straight to the airport, not a moment too soon!
We've not yet booked anything from there on, but will sort out some accommodation in Kunming soon - possibly Couchsurfing or a cheap hostel, as we want to move on pretty quickly. We're leaving everything fairly flexible but in the five weeks we have off, we want to see:
Kunming --> Dali --> Lijiang --> Tiger Leaping Gorge --> Shangri'la --> Back to Kunming to get visas --> slowly through southern Yunnan --> Northern Laos --> Northern Vietnam --> Hanoi --> Halong Bay --> Back into China --> Hainan for 5-ish days --> train back to Zhengzhou.
Watch this space!
