China Tour 2010
A group of
eighteen people took a China tour with me this summer. In addition to
visiting the most popular tourist sites, such as the Great Wall in
Beijing and the Terra Cotta Warriors and Soldiers in Xian, we also had
a chance to visit a local community's activity center in Shanghai where
we were received royally with a drum dance, gifts, and even covered by
the local Shanghai TV news. We felt like celebrities for a day! The
other two highlights of the tour included visiting the World Expo in
Shanghai and a two-day stay in a farmer's B&B inn in a beautiful
town, Suzhou, near Shanghai. Our last stop was Hong Kong - a city where
East meets West and the skyline is among the most beautiful in the
world.
