Hello Julia,

I just wanted to send you an email to thank you for making our trip to China so comfortable.......everything was excellent. Most of our guides were brilliant in terms of their knowledge and grasp of the language. Even the drivers were always punctual and helpful. The hotels were first class and clean.

The Li River cruise was spectacular and we almost liked it better than the Yangtze River cruise, but it was nice to relax on a small intimate boat and meet fellow travelers and the day in Yangshou was outstanding! They serve very good lunch on the boat. The sights are amazing. There was light rain during our trip but not disturbing enough to stop us from going out on the deck and enjoy the scenery. Since we stayed a few days more in Shanghai we went to see the water city, Zhouzhuang which was incredible and wished we had a full day there, that's possibly something you could recommend seeing in the Shanghai area or adding into the itinerary!

Reed Flute Cave is also amazing. The cave is filled with a large number of stalactites, stalagmites and rock formations in weird and wonderful shapes. Along the u-shaped route, we have ample time see the oddly shaped rocks and stone pillars while the guide narrates interesting stories about them.

Once again thank you for everything and I would recommend this agency if you are planning to do a tour in China. Anyhow we would definitely choose again for the China Travel Depot if we are coming back to China! Thanks for the great help.

Best Regards,
Shane Browne,
