Hi everyone.
Just back from an incredible adventure in China. Have descriptive "journal" of our favorite area Guilin and Yangshou. Happy to e-mail it if requested. Also, in response to questions re: tours vs independent travel -
We started out trip with a small group of 11 people, a national guide and we were joined in each locale by an additional local guide. Later we took off on "our own" to Guilin-Yangshou with a personal guide and driver. China is not easy to get around without help. We stood in Yu Yuan garden area within feet of the site and walked in circles never finding it, even though the hotel's concierge had written in Chinese "Please show these people to Yu Yuan Gardens." Or perhaps he wrote; "Let's see how long we can keep these people moving in circles".
Anyway Pacific Delight with CIT gave us a great national guide Chen Bai Ping. Ask for him. In Guilin/Yangshou we were most fortunate to have CTS euro-american dept guide, Fannie Mo. A fantastic young lady who helped us to see the "real" China. She speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, English and Japanese and her love of China and of people in general really works for those lucky enough to have her as a guide....More details
