Finding a China Holiday

 

Hi Sunny,

Here are some comments:

We had a very good experience with China Highlights. My wife and I paid for a deluxe tour, with private guide and driver. Everything went very smoothly. The people in China were polite, and we sensed no bias against foreign tourists. People in crowds and queues can be physically pushy, but they do this to everybody, including other Chinese, so don't take this personally. Very few people speak English, although all of our guides and most of the hotel staff were fluent. The guides and drivers were always on time and courteous, and our accommodations were exactly as expected.?

We stayed at the Peninsula Beijing hotel, which was very comfortable (check out the 42 inch plasma TV), and had an excellent breakfast buffet. We saw the usual sites around Beijing,and all of them are worth seeing.

We also took a cruise on the Yangtze River from Yichang to Chongqing on the Victoria Katarina. The ship was very nice, and looked to be the best of all the cruise ships we saw on the river. We upgraded to a Shangri-La suite, which I highly recommend if you can afford the premium price -- we paid an extra $300US per night for it. The Katarina has only two of these suites, which are located at the front of the second deck. Each suite is a studio apartment with five large windows, a jacuzzi tub, and (best of all) access to a large private balcony that covers the entire front of the second deck. Since no one rented the other suite, we had this entire balcony to ourselves. Very nice, indeed. All of the shore excursions were well-organized and worth doing. Be sure to see the panda exhibit and Gooseneck Park in Chongqing.

Overall, we had a very good experience, and we highly recommend China Highlights for your China tour.
