Beijing & the Chinese Wall – Xi’an – Guilin – Yangshuo – Ping’an – Kunming – Dali – Xizhou – Shaxi – Tiger Leaping Gorge – Shangri La – Lijiang – Beijing<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hello Paul,<\/p>\n

We returned safely from our trip, tired but delighted.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We thank you for the excellent organization that allowed us to discover the country from different angles:<\/div>\n

\"Avis<\/p>\n

\u00b7 The great classics: Beijing and Xian<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Guangxi with the discovery of spectacular landscapes: The Li River and the Longji rice fields<\/p>\n

\"Avis<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Finally, the ancient towns and villages of Yunnan: Dali, Zhoucheng, Xizhou, Shaxi, Lijiang and Shangri La\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Avis<\/p>\n

Guides and drivers were punctual, efficient and friendly, some better than others\u2026 Many thanks to Philippe for his professionalism and erudition.<\/p>\n

The hotels were comfortable and well located, however we regret the lack of refrigerators in the rooms and a \u00ab\u00a0very simple\u00a0\u00bb breakfast at the Fairy Land Inn in Dali.<\/p>\n

\"Avis<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The shows in Xian, Yangshuo and Kunming were of high quality.<\/p>\n

We particularly appreciated:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 Cycling from Yangshuo to the villages of Fuli and Jiuxian, and from Xizhou to Ehrai Lake.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00b7 Hiking in the Longji rice fields, where we passed through minority villages and met Yao women.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00b7 Hiking in the Shibaoshan Mountains.<\/div>\n

\"Avis<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Meeting a Tibetan family in Shangri-La where we tasted Yak tea and butter cheese as well as Tsampa.<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Shaxi, a small village from another time<\/p>\n

\"Avis<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Xizhou more authentic than Dali where women dance in the evening in the square.<\/p>\n

\"Avis<\/p>\n

Since everything can’t be perfect, here are some areas for improvement:<\/p>\n

In Beijing,<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The tour of the Summer Palace was very quick, and the guide dropped us off at a shopping mall to finish the afternoon.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The rickshaw ride through the Hutong district consisted of a quick round trip to a local’s home for lunch.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Since the guide didn’t accompany us to a local’s home, we had lunch alone, with no opportunity to interact with our hostess.<\/div>\n

\"Avis<\/p>\n

On the road from Shaxi to Shangri-La<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00b7 the stops are of little interest: we saw nothing of the stages of pottery making…<\/p>\n

\"Avis<\/p>\n

If you wish, you can add our comments and photos to your \u00ab\u00a0Guest Stories\u00a0\u00bb section.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This trip to China has made us eager to learn more, and we’ll likely come back to you with a new project.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Sincerely,<\/div>\n

Evelyne & Bernard<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
