Hi Tricia,

We had a wonderful time on our trip. Thank you so much for all of your help.

All of our worries disappeared the moment Renee, our Beijing guide, greeted us at the airport. For the following three days, she and our driver showed us the many fascinating sites around Beijing including the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Ming Tombs, and the Summer Palace.

We then flew to Huangshan, Yellow Mountain. The rock formations and canyons were incredible. The views were somewhat similar to Yosemite National Park in the United States, but the unusual vegetation really made it unique. It's hard to describe in words the true beauty of the Mountain. The trails and bridges were also amazing. In the two days that we were there, we must have climbed 10,000 stairs. All of the trails were made of stone. The individuals who built the trails were artist making them look like logs to match the natural environment.

Unfortunately, there was a slight mix up at the Huangshan airport, when our guide, Jenny, accidentally picked up another couple instead of us. However another guide helped us out and we got to our hotel that evening safely. The following morning everything was cleared up and we were on our way. Jenny was very knowledgeable and her English was excellent. We enjoyed her company very much. The hotel on top of the mountain was less desirable than the other hotels that we stayed at but, the incredible scenery definitely made up for it. Plus, we are sure that it is hard to maintain the hotels at the top of the mountain because everything has to be carried to the top of the mountain by porters (6.5 kilometers straight up!). We recommend telling other tourists that they can't take all of their luggage to the top of the mountain because they have to carrying it for about a kilometer after they get off of the cable car. Fortunately, we had two backpacks to carry our belongings for two days.

Please feel free to list our comments with your other testimonials on your Web site. We would recommend Travel China Guide to others. Having you take care of all the planning details allowed us to focus on just having fun and enjoy China's beauty.

Best regards,

Kim & Bill Kerwin
