We head back to Beijing for a couple days and stay in the most magical hostel on the planet. It was so hard to convince ourselves to leave the hostel to go sightseeing! But leave we did, at least a few times. Once, to explore the night markets (Donghuamen snack street, where you can find tasty street food, and some weirder options like scorpions on a stick! Which we did NOT eat. And the Wangfujing shopping area) and another time to wander through the artsy, eclectic, funky 798 arts district. (Closed Captioned) The Backdrop: We spent May-July in China (eight weeks in total). For the first month, I co-led a study abroad trip that brought sixteen college students to the Nanjing University of Science and Technology to study beginning Chinese. I also co-taught a Travel Writing class. As part of that trip, we went to Beijing, Nanjing, Suzhou, Shanghai, Yellow Mountain, and Slender West Lake. Once the students left for home, my husband Jesse and I traveled around China for a few more weeks. Our travels brought us to Xi'An, Chengdu, Leshan, Jiuzhaigou, Yangshuo, and Hong Kong. It was a life-changing adventure! Connect with me! Twitter: https://twitter.com/Erin_Travels Blog: http://erinstravels.com Pinterest: http://www.pinterest.com/erin_travels
