Hello, Elaine
Instead of using the enclosed evaluation form, I will just tell you in my own words what a fabulous trip we took to Beijing, the silk road, Shanghai and Hong Kong. My compliments go to you for arranging wonderful hotels, well informed, intelligent, thoughtful tour guides, safe drivers...
There are several not-to-be missed attractions. The Simatai Great Wall should be at the top of everyone's list of places to visit. The Buddhist Temple in Beijing was beautiful and fascinating. We were surprised by the beauty and size of the temples we visited (Buddhist, Taoist, and Lama). Here again, Alley was very valuable in helping us to understand what we were seeing...
