Beijing

The journey to the Far East has to start with China.

Embarking on this journey to China started back in 2019. Pre-Covid times.

As a family we were deciding on holiday destinations, outside of the typical European locations. I wanted a different type of holiday - one which involved seeing one of the great wonders of the world. Instantly China came to mind and specficially the Great Wall of China.

It was time to convince my family - for which most were willing to do it, I produced a 5 page report and analysis on flights, hotels, visa etc.

But then… Covid hit, and the plan was put aside for around six years.

Until - my very good friend let me know he was taking time of work to live in China. The game-plan was back on!

June 2025, that’s when the true planning started.
