Shanghai

Shanghai is my last destination of my China abroad semester. After I arrived in Shanghai, I set up my subway card easily. I just opened the wallet app, paid 20元 “card” fee, and it was done. It is super easy to pay for public transportations as you can just hold your iPhone to a QR …

Henan Province

My time in China comes slowly to an end. After I arrived in Beijing again, I grabbed my leaved stuff, said good-bye to Tim, and the next day the journey had already continued. This time, the destination was the Henan Province, more specifically Luoyang, which I arrived with the high-speed train in three hours. Compared …

Yunnan Province

The guided tour with the best hotels began. We arrived at the airport, and we had a shuttle service to our hotel, where we spend the whole day. It was refreshing as the last days in Hunan was not comfortable, and after arriving in the hotel, everything was just clean and beautiful. We even could …

Hunan Province

After we visited the rice terraces, we went on with the night train to our next destination: Changsha. Changsha is the capital of the Hunan province, and the highlight in this province is the city Zhangjiajie. This trip was organized by a guided tour as well, and I can tell you it was the worst. …

Guilin and Yangshuo

For the next three places, we decided to book guided tours as it has several advantages compared to traveling on our own. The most significant benefit is the included bus. Especially our next locations, which are not big cities, require much travel time between those. The second reason to book guided tours is organizing everything …

Guangzhou

This blog entry is about Guangzhou, a city which is in the South of China like Shenzhen. Because it’s close to Shenzhen, it differs not much. But still, I enjoyed staying there and to see the contrast between modern and ancient, which I try to focus on. The transportation system is the same as in …

Shenzhen

Shenzhen is a city how I imaged China. In not popular areas, you see, for instance, little shops and damaged streets everywhere. Additionally, you can smell the food and well… the not so nice smelling smell. But to be honest, it’s not a negative point for me, it’s a point which makes the city even …

Bye-bye Beijing

I just arrived at the airport in Beijing (actually, it was Sunday, but I hadn’t had time to finish it). I’ll use this time to recall my last four months here. As far as I could notice, the lectures were mostly bad. Not only those courses I visited. Maybe it’s just the English courses, which …

Hot Springs

By the way, the winter was here for two days! Even it’s not snowing every day, the temperature is almost below zero degrees. Thus, I had to buy extra, warm clothes. Two weeks ago, we went to Happy Valley. Unfortunately, nearly no attraction was opened. Research would have been helped a lot in this case! …

Beijing Duck

Hi guys, it’s, like always, been a while! I was busy enjoying my life, so I’m gonna write two articles today, both of which summarize my last two weeks briefly. First, I talk about my personal life. I applied for an internship at Volkswagen in the research department for “KI and Deep Learning in autonomous …
