Trekking is such an amazing passtime especially on this occasion as we were privileged to see the Great China Wall in all its glory...steeped in history this amazing man made feature is not to be missed...

In Septemer,12 my husband and I had the most marvelous tour to China. From the onset when we were booking the trip through the office in USA, the service was superb. We stayed at 5 star hotels such as Marriots or Sheridens which had very comfortable beds and well-appointed rooms much better than we have experienced elsewhere. The breakfasts, well... More

This was the main reason for our trip...to walk on the Great Wall of China. There are many sections but any section is memorable. Be prepared to walk alot and climb steps. I thought the walk would be easy but it was really challenging to get to the stations up on the moutaintops. Only 3 out of our group of... More

4 of us had a wonderful experience in this trip. We are Asians, mostly grew up in America and had very little knowledge of china. This trip exceeded our expectations in everything except food. If one expected same or better cuisine in china than what you can get in San Francisco chinatown food, it will be great disappointment. We learned... More
