Got the new Visa - going back to China tomorrow

Posted by Robert in Walking the Great Wall

I picked up the new visa today and head back to China tomorrow. The flights do not correspond, so I will have to spend a night in Beijing before returning to Datong. I will visit the visa office the day after to make sure they agree to extend my visa in one month’s time.

The stay at Ascension House in Hong Kong has been great. It is located on a pretty steep hillside looking down over Sha Tin north of Hong Kong. It is peaceful here, in contrast to Hong Kong. Thanks Birgitte for your hospitality! And to Leif and Gustaf and wife - it has been interesting to get to know you better, and I wish you all the best for the rest of your stay in Hong Kong. It has been great fun and I hope to meet you again either in HK or Sweden.

    Da tong means "Grand unification". Datong was a border city for centuries and hence centre for different people and tribes.
