Traveling as it is, going out of the familiar, checking your ability to find yourself, a great way to get to know yourself and others, and those photos that remain, will be memories forever. This part of the world from where I started the plane flight lasted 12 hours: Toronto-Shanghai. Two weeks is not enough for a tour of five cities, including a 4-hour flight to Beijing, but only the Chinese agency can take a tour of the tea plantation, silk factory, pearl shell farm, the imperial gardens and palaces (that look just like the silk napkins of my childhood), the famous Chinese wall, and the traditional medicine research center. We stay in spa centers and most luxurious hotels, travel with magnetic express trains, day and night river cruises, bus and of course hiking, walking deep into the night. In Shanghai, we also had sunny weather and visible white clouds, which they say is an incredible rarity, something due to the pollution of a somewhat shabby climate. The strongest impression of that part of China is visual. Centuries-old landscaped gardens just like new seedlings or flowers on bumpers or around poles on overpasses and highways are maintained with the same purposeful care. The styles are different but they do not mix, you will not see a building with a red gold roof in an industrial center, with a pagoda necessarily going to the bazaar. However, if I stand out from the unexpected and very impressive and unknown to me, the Grand Canal Beijing-Hangzhou, some parts were created many earlier, but this construction pearl built at sixth century is considered to be the greatest world achievement before the industrial revolution. It originated from the need for fast trade and transportation of food, and extends over 1700km, today protected by UNESCO. This is where the time stopped. As the guide says: here is easy going! For the first time, I saw and tried fresh burgundy, bought at a sawmill located in an endlessly long street crammed with tiny national produce. We even dragged an urm for the whole trip and from green-yellow it slowly turned to brown as I know it. It is fresh like our tiny apple of exceptional sweetness, which literally bursts into the mouth with a bite, and only its oblong bone gives kinds off a variety.
