Dear Karen,
I just realized that the picture I sent was taken in Xian, not Guilin. We had so many wonderful experiences that sometimes they all seem to run together and I have to think back carefully to remember what we did in each city we visited. We have so many pictures of Bailey with children he met in each city we visited. He is very outgoing and many parents asked if they could take his picture with their children. He was very happy to do this. These are the experiences we had hoped for when we decided to take him to China and the entire trip exceeded our expectations.
All the hotels you arranged for us were first class. The staff were very helpful and would always write our destination in Chinese to give to the taxi drivers and of course we always had the card for our hotel so we could get back after our day's adventures. The Sofitel in Xian and the Harbour Plaza in Hong Kong were outstanding. The JC Mandarin held an oversize souvenir we had bought on our first day in Shanghai for us until we returned the last night before flying home.
Only one of our flights , the one from Hong Kong to Xian, was delayed by one hour, but that didn't matter, we were still able to do everything we had planned in Xian. The airlines were prompt and efficient, the staff very courteous. I wish I could say the same for airlines in the United States.
Guilin is a beautiful city.
The Li River cruise was a highlight and our guide on that trip introduced us to a local guide, Tao Ping Miaina, in YangShuo who arranged a bamboo raft trip and tour of a cave for us, and also our return trip to the airport in Guilin.
We had absolutely no problems. We were even surprised at how easy it is to travel independently in China. I look forward to visiting again one day.I will recommend China Highlights to anyone planning to visit China.
Sincerely,
Elaine
