Hi, I am looking to book China for my first holiday, can you spare a little time to tell me about it please?
Great tour, very full on with lots of flights ,coach journeys and on our trip train journey to the Yangtze cruise. You get to see all the major sites and stay in some good hotels only Xian needed updating, but all are very clean, have excellent staff. Food wise, it's good but do not expect, ducks feet or anything odd. Not unless you buy it yourself.
Highlights are the great wall, terracotta warriors and the cruise.
Dumpling dinner and show after was excellent as well.
Yangtze cruise is worth it but do not expect luxury travel, its basic, but again everything is clean and staff are very good on board ship, food is average compared with the rest of the tour. But again if you have the time and money do not miss it, the views are great and you get to see a lot of real China along the way.
One other thing, there is a lot of walking and stairs, so be prepared.
Any specific questions just ask, somebody will answer you, if not start a new thread, or ask the editor Julia she always comes back with a reply. Unusual question on a Peru posting but that's how things get done on these community sites, nothing like off on a tangent.
