Dear Angela,
We thought both the Lingering Garden and the Lion Forest Garden were incredibly beautiful and amazingly intricate. They both displayed garden design at it's highest level and they were beautifully maintained. We enjoyed the bonsai at the Lion Forest Garden as well. The Grand Canal was not to be missed as well. Not only was the canal beautiful, we were fascinated by our visit to the market and it was fun seeing how people lived along the canal. Thank you Jessica for finding a boat that could take us on the canal since all the regular canal boats were shut down due to high water in the canals. We loved the location of the Hotel righ on the Lake which was so beautifuly lit at night. We could see the Lake from our hotel window which was an extra plus. The hotel was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay there. Jessica was a delightful and knowledgeable guide. We really appreciated her going to the extra effort to find a boat for us on the canal, taking us to a simple but very good noodle ...more

Dear Candy,
Probably the most memorable portion of my trip was the hike from Xingping to Yangdi. It let me see "the other China" where people actually live and work. Incredible! The little children were amazing and so cute! One little boy even invited me to go swimming with them. Very interesting walk through the farmlands. I had been on the Li River cruise and would never have imagined that so much was going on behind the bamboo. My tour guide, Tang, or Tony, was exceptional! He gave me information about the area, about Chinese life, made suggestions about where to eat, what to try, what to do, where to go. We shared jokes and I had a wonderful time. The hotels were just fine. My last trip, I travelled deluxe class, this time standard, so there was a difference, mostly in the breakfast buffets,but the rooms were spacious and clean, kept up well, and all the staff at the hotels were attentive and helpful. Can't really pick out a favorite. They were all fine. I would absolutely recommend China ...more

Candy,
Thanks for helping us to coordinate our trip, it is one we will remember forever. I would like to tell you about a couple of issues we experienced on our trip. The trip was still wonderful but I feel it is important to bring the issues to your attention so that you know about my concerns. First, I explained in my correspondence that I was a strict vegan--by this I mean I do not eat any animal products at all. I found it difficult to get food that I could eat on the trip as most of the food, even the tofu, was flavored with meat or fish juices--even the tofu had bits of pork floating in the sauce. I was in the same tour as a vegetarian and she experienced the same issues. The guides did their best to help out but were not always able to convey the issues to the restaurant staff. This resulted in a less than stellar dining experience and the first 4 days I ate nothing but white rice and vegetables. Second, I found it surprising and very unappetizing to be served food in a restaurant that had dog ...more

Dear Hu,
While in Xi'an the most memorable attraction was the, of course, the terracotta warriors. I'm glad I was able to go on a Friday because there weren't very many people there. I wasn't expecting to be awed by the warriors, but when I walked into Pit #1 I was amazed. I didn't realize that each warrior is different, and the detail of the warriors is amazing! I only had one tour guide, and her name is Crystal. Crystal did a very good job and was very knowledgeable everywhere we went. She stated she hadn't been working for China Highlights very long, but I couldn't tell! She was very professional and did her best to make sure I was comfortable and enjoying my trip. I would recommend her to friends and family. The hotel I stayed in was great, much better than I was expecting for "tourist class." I was very comfortable the whole weekend and the international breakfast was great. The dumpling banquet was probably the best meal of the weekend. China Highlights does a great job and I would ...more

Hello Candy
We had a wonderful trip to China. I would be happy to share a few comments with you. We had 3 guides and 3 drivers; all different and all well educated in their factual history and very diligent in making our time well spent. The 2 guides China Highlights provided us were personable, welcoming, and accommodating to our wishes. Mark was responsible for telling us about one of our most memorable nights (thank goodness!), the show Impression Sanjie Liu. It was breathtaking! He also changed plans to include a raft ride down the river which we enjoyed. Staying overnight in Longsheng and the terraced rice fields was definitely a highlight of our trip, although the Pingan Inn very primitive. Perhaps there is another accommodation? Other accommodations; Guilin Bravo Hotel was fine; the Paradesa Resort was fine, the Meihua Goldentang International Hotel, although beautiful, was lacking in the service area. We had a washroom that had a horrible sewer pipe smell which they tried to address but ...more
