On our 9th day on the Silk Road, we took a day tour to the highlights of Xining. We stopped at a few places along the way to Chaka Salt Lake, and this is our journey!

We are James and Keli, previously Two Tickets Around the World. We are originally from Kansas in the United States and after many years of traveling during our holidays together, we took a leap of faith and moved to China. While we teach English during the week, we use our holidays and weekends to explore the different wonders of China.

Once the borders open, we'll continue our adventures exploring the rest of the world. Until then, let's explore China together.
