Hi Gordon
Did this trip in September and it really is full on. If you like thrills, outside the hotel in Beijing, there is a pedestrian crossing that you might like to try to cross. Be advised to walk with a local!! The yangtze cruise is fantastic and there is an included eccursion every day. All of our group got upgraded one level for free, so I hiope you do too. The lady in charge on the boat was a German lady by the name of Marion and she could not do enough for you. You will bring back memories that will last you a lifetime.
