Dear Peter,
Knowing that you’d like to travel the four places in China but have no
idea how to make a travel plan, I’m more than delighted to offer you some detailed information.
Since your destination is the Jilin Province, I think it a good idea to start your journey from Hangzhou. You can spend a whole day seeing the
sights of Westlake, where the clear water will literally take your breath away. In addition to seeing the sights, taking a boat ride there is really relaxing. The next morning, you’d better arise early to take the train to Shanghai, where you will see many skyscrapers and shopping malls. From Shanghai, you can catch the train towards Beijing, the capital of China. Seen from the train window, the mountains look massive. The highlight of the trip may be able to visit the forbidden city in which many antiques are displayed. After spending two days in Beijing, it’s time to travel to Hulunbeier Grassland. It is amazing that a small population should live in such an open country. Eventually, you will reach the Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve, home to many animals and plants and later you can also take a pleasant hike there. Keep in mind that the weather there is freezing cold in winter, so bring some thick clothes when you travel. All in all, the trip from Hangzhou to Jilin will take a duration of 12 days.
I’m sure that you will be truly amazed by the awesome journey!
Yours
