The Trip to China 2007  This five week trip should include plenty of travel to some of the more exciting sights of southern China. I'll be spending July in Dongguan China on a business trip. Dongguan is about 100 miles north of Hong Kong and 50 miles east of Guangzhou, the regional mega-city. Expect to see stories and pictures of local parks, temples, and scenic coasts, plus Goulin mountains, and Hong Kong. I'll be posting weekly while I'm there. |
