This is where we are headed…
I can’t tell which mapping program is better so I have included two maps.
We are headed in a counter-clockwise direction, beginning in the upper right (i.e., Northeast) corner in Beijing. Since the green and red push pins are not labeled with the appropriate city names and do not tell us “geographically hindered” people what cities they are “tacking”, here’s the list in chronological order: Beijing, Datong, Pingyao, Xi’an, Guilin, Yangshuo, Shenzhen and ending in Hong Kong.
Map #1
Map #2
Here is the first map zoomed in a bit differently. The map of the states beneath it is set at the exact same scale just so you can get an idea of how far we will be traveling.
