Hello, Candy!
I know I've been a bit delinquent in sending you some feedback on our trip. It has been a busy summer since returning from China. We are now enjoying watching the Beijing Olympics, catching glimpses of places we visited! So with the television tuned to the Olympics now, I thought I would forward some thoughts about our trip. In addition, I have attached the picture of the three of us at the Sheraton Hotel!

First of all, one of the highlights was meeting YOU in Guilin!!! Thank you so much for taking time from your busy schedule to meet us at the Sheraton. It was nice to finally "put a face to the e-mails." !! It was a pleasure having the chance to chat with you!

As you know, the first part of our itinerary was our Victoria Yangtze River Cruise. Our flight from Shanghai to Yichang was delayed that day for 5 hours due to stormy weather. I was a bit worried if our guide in Yichang would still be meeting us after such a long delay. He was there, reassured us that the ship had not left yet, expedited our transfer to the cruise ship, all the while giving us some interesting information during the drive to the pier! We much appreciated that after such a long day!

The Victoria cruise was wonderful! All the excursions - the Three Gorges Dam, Shennong Stream, and the Fengdu town, were great! The visit into the Lesser Gorges/Shennong Stream was the most memorable attraction. The ship and local guides were all quite informative, food was good, and accommodations top-notch! I would recommend this river cruise for its scenic wonders (apparently, we were very lucky to have good weather with fairly clear skies) and for the cultural interests (learning about the effects of the Dam on the surrounding cities, history, and people.

Our short city trip in Chongqing was also enjoyable. The pandas at the Zoo were so cute! As you may recall, we had looked forward to visiting the Chengdu Panda Research Base, but canceled after the earthquake. So this was an acceptable alternative, though I still wished I could have held a panda cub! Our guide was quite informative.

Last but not least, our accommodations in Hong Kong were great! Thank you for recommending the Royal Garden - excellent location!

I would strongly recommend China Highlights for my friends/colleagues for the following reasons: 1) Excellent, comprehensive, informative, user-friendly website, 2) Prompt e-mail responses to inquiries, 3) Ability to customize personal tours, 4) Reliable, informative, knowledgable, friendly tour guides, and 5) Reasonable prices. You may use me as a reference, and my email as a contact method. Thank you again for great service and a wonderful tour. I'll try to forward additional photos later.

Best regards,

Amy Tso and Tom Adams
