Hello Julia,
We had the most wonderful time in China made special by your organization. We were met promptly by very professional guides - the drivers were very careful and very considerate of the road rules.

About the Great Wall, it was my first visit to the Wall, I was very happy that it was not crowded. It was beautiful. We spent 5 hrs. walking up and down the wall. Our ticket included the chairlift and toboggan. We opted to ride the chairlift down since the toboggan looked hot (93 deg. this day) and we had a small child w. us. Our nephew is almost 3 and he was able to HIKE this part of the wall without too much difficulty. The locals selling water and snacks (and beer) were unobtrusive, but available at most guard towers. There are no restrooms on the wall, of course.
Shaoin Temple is a place where I hope to go. It is reputed to be 'the Number One Temple under Heaven'. If you are fans of Jackie Chan or Jet Lee, make sure never miss this attraction when you go to Luoyang, Henan. I watched the fabulous show in Shaolin Temple.
I have enjoyed your service and your accomodations. Thank you so much for being able to extend your tour an extra day to help with my scheduling, it has been a great experience.
Regards,
Bradley Green
