Reporter's log: My 39-day trip from China to Europe by sea

My trip will take me along the maritime Silk Road to Europe, passing through several well-known waters including South China Sea, Indian Ocean, Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea. And the destination is Valencia, Spain.

Coincidentally, this was the first time I was going abroad. I had imagined millions of times what my first foreign trip would be, but the fact was far beyond my limited imagination.

During the past week, the ship visited several Chinese cities, such as Ningbo, Kaohsiung in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Now the ship was about to travel out of the South China Sea and will be berthed in Singapore on Monday.

I'm looking forward to docking at Singapore.
