<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are trips that check off destinations, and then there are journeys that immerse you in a place. Our two weeks in China did exactly that.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We began in vibrant Shanghai, exploring historic neighborhoods, beautiful gardens, incredible food, and a skyline unlike any other. From there, we escaped to the tropical shores of Sanya before slowing down in the natural beauty of Hangzhou.</p>
