CHINA PART 2: HK to Xi'an

Welcome back! The Gents and I left HK and headed for Xi'an. We took a pit stop in the city of Dongguan, which for the life of me, I couldn’t get right! But anyways, Mark took us to a roof with an awesome view to see HK. After that, we crossed the boarder into Mainland China and stayed in Dongguan overnight.

The next morning we headed out for Guangzhou to see the Canton Tower and after that very rushed experience, we made it on our flight and got to Xi'an in one piece. Thanks for watching! Have a blessed day!
