Hello Elaine,

We were really pleased with the China Highlights trip and only wish we had made it 2 trips of two weeks each, ie Northern China and Southern China because there was just so much to see. As to the specific questions - with our time constraints, the tour was really good.

Best Thing: probably the time in Guilin. It was so beautiful and picturesque and the River Li Cruise is something everyone should experience. Of course, the Great Wall was a highlight because it is so spectacular when you can glimpse great stretches of it and can really begin to get a sense of the whole of it. Xi'an was an interesting city with a mixture of old and new architecture and the Terra Cotta Warriors and Tany Dynasty show were some other highlights for us. The Shanghai Museum was fabulous and we were glad our guide was able to rearrange our schedule to allow us extra time there. Also should mention the promptness of all our driver's and tour guides.

The Tang Dynasty show, Peking Opera, Shangcheng Acrobatics, and the Classical Night View and Show in Suzhou were all highlights. The restaurant that Meng Xin brought us to for our last lunch in Beijing was absolutely fabulous. We were in a private room in a gorgeous setting and the Hung Pao was the best I have ever had. All the hotels were excellent and I would expecially recommend the Suzhou Garden View Hotel (all around excellence, wonderful gardens) and the Xi'an Bell Tower Hotel (incredible location). The Li River Cruise was wonderful, everything we imagined it would be.

Sincerely,

Dawn Bean
