riginally, I had hoped to plan my own trip through China but with a incredibly heavy work load to fully occupy my days and a kitchen expansion/renovation to occupy my nights, there was little time to do focus on travel. So, I decided to take the easy route and go on a tour through China and while I was checking out tours through China, I found one that I liked for Mongolia. The China tour starts in Shanghai and ends in Beijing. I'm adding a few days before Shanghai to see a couple other cities and extending my stay in Beijing by another few days so I can fully see the city plus some surrounding towns. Mongolia will be per the tour itinerary.So, here's the travel itinerary.
