My mom and dad came to visit me and my husband Siqi in China. My parents visited China and saw the sights in Shanghai, Suzhou, and Beijing some years ago, but I’m so glad they came to see where I live now and spend time with me and Siqi. We had a great time together!
Mom and Dad flew from Atlanta to Shanghai (via Seoul) and stayed in Shanghai overnight. A van brought them to Hangzhou; we hung out at home and then ate dinner at the local mall. Starting the next day, Siqi drove us in a big circle from Hangzhou to Longquan to Huangshan and back to Hangzhou, and then we all spent a little time together to Shanghai before my parents flew off again. Phew!
Our road trip looked more or less like this:
I have soooo many photos from our time together (though not as many as my dad)! So I’ve split them into 18 separate posts. Enjoy!
