Day 25: Hong Kong - London - Barcelona
Luckily, as soon as I got on the flight that took us to London, yesterday that it was our last day of the trip to China for free and that we spent enjoying Lantau, I took a sleeping pill and the flights back home kill me. Thanks to that I have slept practically half of the trip and I woke up when they were delivering breakfast and we were only two hours from landing in London, at which time I took the opportunity to make a brief summary of what to see in China in 25 days that will be the article with which we finish the diary of this trip.
Already cleared and while Roger saw his ?? movie, I took the opportunity to finish writing the remaining lines of this travel diary and I will not deceive you, review the planning we have in mind for the next long trip this year, for which, in a few hours, when we arrive Home, we want to get the tickets. We have found some tickets that are great in price and the dates on which we go are not easy since they include Christmas, New Year's Eve and Kings, so we cannot miss the opportunity and run out of it.
Besides, they don't say that the best formula to overcome the post-trip is another trip? Mmm ... or maybe we have invented this phrase?

And so, at 4:55 in the morning we landed in London where we don't have much time, only 90 minutes to change terminals, pass the controls again and return and board another plane, this time heading to Barcelona.
There we arrived at 9:30 in the morning and the first thing we do, while we wait to collect our bags is to call our usual Park & Vola to bring us the car to the door of Terminal 1. And in these cases, as today that we have to start working as soon as we get home, this premium service it's practically essential so as not to waste a minute in transfers.
Returning home after the trip to China
And so, leaving the bags in the hallway of the house and putting the first washing machine of many others, our # China12Trip ends, one of the most impressive and complete trips we have ever made and also one of the most tired. And we have not stopped a minute of the 25 days. Although, thinking about it, that's what it was, right?
And finally, we leave you a brief summary of what to visit in China in 25 days.
Beijing, one of the cities that you must visit and where you will begin to familiarize yourself with the giant that is China.
The Temple of Heaven in Beijing
You can't say you've been to China if you don't step on it. And if you do a trekking through the Great Wall of China, better than better, you will be able to know one of its most authentic and little visited areas.

Making a stop in Datong to enjoy Hengshan Hanging Monastery and Yungang Caves is definitely the reward of a night train from Beijing.

Pingyao, a city where tradition and color will mark your stay.

Not enjoying Xi'an Terracotta Warriors is like not having come to China. Without a doubt a mandatory stop.

Spending a few days in Chengdu is to enjoy its Panda Bear Conservation Center and of course, enjoy one of the most impressive visits in China, the incredible Buddha of Leshan.

While it is true that it is not easy to get there, Zhangjiajie National Park, known for being the scene of the Avatar movie, will delight anyone who likes nature.

What can we say about Fenghuang? A place that captivated us and where we would have stayed a few more days despite being a very touristy place. But you have to know how to wait. And it is that first thing in the morning, when the sun has almost not risen or in the late afternoon, when the groups have already left, Fenghuang offers you its most friendly and traditional face.

Arriving in Guilin is knowing that you are at the door of paradise. You have to spend some days in this area of China if you want to know its most interesting places. Spending a day on the rice terraces of Espinazo del Dragón is definitely essential.
Just as essential as a cruise on the Li River, which will take us to Yangshuo.

And once in Yangshuo we recommend you spend a couple of days to enjoy its surroundings, where we will find ourselves on stage in a movie.

And from here, we will move to Hong Kong, where our incredible trip ends and where we will make a brief stop in Macao and Lantau, two other essentials if you are in the area.
