We love the Chinese kitchen and thought the food was great every where. The restaurants chosen were excellent. Even the food on the Li River cruise in Guilin we thought was not bad.
All excellent drivers who kept their car nice clean and fresh. Very friendly and polite. All guides were nice, knowledgeable, courteous with good English. Tzesan if I spell it correct in Tibet, Carol in Xian and Joe in Shanghai were excellent. Nancy in Chongqing was very helpful with assisting my wife buying some clothes as our luggage was left behind in Lhasa. We got the luggage back 5 days later in Shanghai.
I would publish that we had a wonderful trip through China & Tibet. Well organized and panned with excellent guides tours. Great food, great sightseeing, wonderful people.
I might call on you as I like to visit Shanghai with the Expo in 2010 with my 2 Grandsons (then14 and 9 years old). Keep me posted if there are special events or trips for the Expo in 2010. I am thinking of about 5 days in Shanghai, then Chendu (Panda) perhaps 3 full days, Xian also 3 full days and Beijing for the Great Wall etc. also 3 perhaps 4 days. With or without Hong Kong I am not sure yet.
It was nice meeting you Cecily. Thanks for everything and our regards also to William.
