Finding a China Holiday

 

Dear Candy,

Greeting from the States. I wish to thank you for all your assistant in making my stay China a most delightful short twenty days.

I must say in hindsight that I should have continued my trip with your company, China Highlights.

It was a most enjoyable trip with everything taken care of by your company people. The region that I enjoyed the most is Inner Mongolia. It was more exotic and different that the usual places in China. Here my excellent guide, Susie, took me to visit the grassland and the desert where I got to ride a horse and a camel and drove an ATV vehicle in the desert with my guide. I also slept in a Mongolian Yurt and watch a delightful musical production by the local people in the open air almost just outside my door steps that night. Where else could I have done all this in such a short period of time and space.

The second choice on my list of places is Pingyao where I stayed in the delightful guest house with the traditional wooden structure of Qing dynasty but with all the modern facilities. This hotel has a beautiful courtyard and great atmosphere and I slept in a traditional kang bed. They even had a mean looking rooster "guarding" the place. My wonderful guide took me to an excellent local place to dine and afterwards we attended fabulous productions of exotic music and dances with colorful costumes which illustrates the spirits and tradition of the local people. I also had a chance to wander around in this wonderful town and sample the local food from the traditional food stands and I even had a nice conversation with a retired teacher. This place lived up to the UNESCO designation of a World Heritage site unlike the ancient Dayan Town in Lijiang which also is a World Heritage site that I recently went with my family. Dayan Town was badly damaged by an earthquake in 1996, has being restored architecturally and in recent years, the tourist industry in Lijiang has developed rapidly, and has brought improvements to the quality of life of the local residents as I was told.

Again thank you for all your help in arranging a wonderful trip for me. It is one which I will not soon forget. Next time I come to China may I call on you for assistant again? Should you come to the States, please come as see me and I will show you my neck of the woods.

Eddie
