The second part of my China series left off with the end of my tour of Beijing and the Great Wall of China with The China Guide. You can also catch up on the first part when we arrived in the port of Shanghai too. I had an amazing time with the only downside being the heartbreaking loss of my camera. I was now off to Hong Kong to meet back up with the MV Explorer which had sailed on from Shanghai while I was in Beijing.

Flying from Shanghai to Beijing
Fellow flying friends in the skies

My adventures in China during my Semester at Sea voyage continued as I traveled from Shanghai to Beijing.

Having successfully navigated the minor roadblock on our way to Shanghai’s airport when our taxi driver misunderstood us and took us to the zoo first, my friends and I got checked in and waited for our flight. We hung out with a large group of other Semester at Sea students who were going on the same trip. Our tour was organized by The China Guide tour company to show us the sights in Beijing and explore the Great Wall. The flight from Shanghai to Beijing was pretty uneventful, only two hours, but they did feed us dinner.

“China Tomorrow, China Tomorrow, China Tomorrow”

One of the deans on a previous Semester at Sea voyage used to say this to students when they had complaints during the voyage. It was his way to remind students that they were doing something incredible. The ship would be docked in China for 8 days, landing in Shanghai before moving to Hong Kong. Eight amazing days exploring the world’s most populous country as well as its 3rd largest. Warning, this is going to be a series so stay tuned for my continued adventures through this amazing country.
