Peoples republic of China
Initially I came to China for working purpose. As our projects were usually not in the metropolitan cities, I learned to know both sides of this amazing country: The big city life as well as the rural areas which are totally different. Not only that: Culture, food and others vary a lot between province and province.
I have mostly been to the Eastern part of China. Having lived in China, I traveled to the South as far as Sanya and to the North as far as Harbin.
And last but not least: As my wife is born in the Peoples Republic of China, it will remain one of our travel spots for sure in the future.
