Guilin, Yangshuo & Longsheng Rice Terraces (Color) : The rugged limestone karsts surrounding the Li River in Guilin and Yangshuo were indeed a wonderful site to behold. Add the terraced rice paddies in the village of Ping'in in Longsheng County, and wow! You can see the associated blog entry here.

Datong, Pingyao & Xi'an (Color) : A tour through the Shanxi (Datong, Pingyao) and Shaanxi (Xi'an) provinces. Datong is home to the Yungang Caves, Hanging Monastery, and some great street eating! The quaint town of Pingyao, once the financial heart of China, is still surrounded by an almost completely intact 6th century Ming dynasty wall. And, of course, Xi'an -- home to the Army of Terracota Warriors and a steep climb up Hua Shan (a holy Taoist mountain). Click here for the link to the associated blog entry.
