I like the idea of split vacation time for different personalities, as long as some of it is together. One place I went that was really, really secluded was in China of all places. China has a population of 1.3 billion, 1/7th of the world's population. You wouldn't know it, though, in Inner Mongolia. It is a province just south of the country of Mongolia. We stayed in a yurt, which is sort of a Chinese teepee. The landlord served us piping hot meals and we slept on the ground, like American Indians. During the day, we went for a horse back ride to a small village and sampled some of the lesser known Chinese delicacies. Then we visited the city. It was big compared to American standards, but not very crowded. The cuisine in Northern China is vastly different than that of middle and southern China. We also visited a museum where Grass grew on the walls! We were only in Inner Mongolia for three days out of your year-long visit to the country, but it was my favorite part because it was least crowded.
