As you all know, I went on my "Return to China" Voyage in the middle of April. I have already posted a couple things about what an amazing, life-changing trip it was. Now I have for you, the rest of my pictures and adventures from that trip!
First, here are the places I stayed at during my adventuring!!!

Here is the first hotel I stayed at during my trip to China. It was a big beautiful room, and it only cost me $25 a night! I stayed there two nights, then moved on to the next place...

...the Bell Tower Youth Hostel! I payed $6 for this room, and I stayed here for one night. Then I stayed here:

The Xiangzimen International Youth Hostel. This place was WONDERFUL!!! It was $5 a night(!) for a dorm room, which I shared with seven other people. It had a beautiful open-air courtyard with extremely comfortable couches, perfect for cuddling up and reading (which I did!). They also had a weekly dumpling party ! They provided the ingredients, then showed you how to make traditional chinese dumplings! Then we got to eat them! It was really cool!

If you are thinking of planning a trip to Xi'an, you definitely need to stay at this hostel! You can find out information through Hostel World, which is the BEST place to find hostels and hotels while traveling the world!

Right beside my Hostel, was this BEAUTIFUL Buddhist Temple. I went in it almost every day, to look around, and just soak in the peace and serenity that filled its walls.

Well that's it for this post! I just have sooo many pictures, so stay tuned for the third and final installation of my Trip to China Series!!!

Thanks so much shana! Yes, I would definitely encourage you to visit China! It is (to me) one of the most magical places in the world! If you look at the 'World Traveler' Category on my sidebar, I have a LOT of articles about China on there (:
Thanks again dear! :P

Hello Jessica! You were kind enough to comment over at my blog so I wanted to stop in and say hello. I really like your blog and the pictures of China are amazing. You have a really enthusiastic writing voice which I think will appeal to a lot of people. I'll be sending my oldest daughter to your site. She's just finished her first year of college and wants to travel next summer. Your tips are great.

Have you reached out to local universities and community colleges in your area? I think your financial coaching would be a great service to that population as well some "mommy bloggers" who may be single moms (or to be fair, Dads as well).
