Dear Morgan Mo
Thank you for your email. We had a wonderful holiday with China Highlights.
There were so many "best things" but it would have to be the visit and holding of a six month old Panda. Something you only do once in your life. Even if we had not been able to have a photo taken with the Pandas it was the "best thing" just to visit the research centre and see what amazing things they have achieved there.
