Travel to China

你好! Nǐ hǎo! Hello!
The much talked about, trip to China was a lifelong dream and became a family affair to get it to be realized. Discussed months ago, decided, planned, initiated and completed in October of '15. Preparations for this trip were quite lengthy, as had become a series of procedures not only bureaucratic forms, passport, visa, etc., and timing, tour desk, problem details, selection of cities and interesting, the most important tourist destinations, as though programming vaccines etc…
We traveled to five Chinese cities using planes, high speed trains (300 km/h) and Maglev Train (magnetic train with a speed of 430 km/h and the distance of 30 km from the city of Shanghai to the airport covered just 8') and ship. It was more concentrated in terms of journey trips, we had ever done. The posture and movement alterations were short and dense between them, and the vast distances and the images and information bombing.
We discovered places of incredible beauty and unique presence, tasted authentic Chinese Cuisine, we walked for hours, soaking up the secrets of the Imperial Forbidden City, we admired the size of the vanity of the Emperor and the Terracotta Army, climbed to all yellow rice fields, along with the long-suffering local population, and wondered upon the ramparts of oversized Great Wall. We crossed sailing 83 km along the reaches of the beautiful Li River, a gallery of nature. We saw fishermen to fish using trained cormorants, we bike ride on a fortification wall 700 years (Ming Dynasty in 1370), we enjoyed our evenings beautifully lit banks of lakes and tastefully designed parks, the sound of Chinese music in clean cities. Mixed in with a bustling crowd, were guided by lovely gardens with old trees, sacred pagodas, world heritage sites, museums, markets, we felt the Economic "Heart" of China beating at a rapid pace and more. We have seen the history passing before us the best moments of the human species but "heard" the moan of all those that struggled to make all.
Today I present only part of the culinary, diverse and multiethnic Chinese Kitchen without words and without the special tasty choices of some Chinese, which are far from ours and may cause feelings of aversion.
