Beeindruckende Tage in Lijiang
Wir waren 3 N?chte in Lijiang, organisiert durch China Highlights. Wir haben den Jadedrachenschneeberg besucht, wurden in Baisha durch einen Naxi-Schamanen in die Bilderschrift der Naxi eingeführt, waren in der Tigersprungschlucht und sind durch die Altstadt von Lijiang gebummelt. Unser Guide Alice hat uns super geführt (englisch), ist auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen und wir hatten viel Spass und tolle Gespr?che miteinander. Ein tolles Erlebnis. more

A Very Memorable Visit to Shanghai.
We arrived in Shanghai on 30 Oct 2024 to the announcement that Shanghai would be hit by a severe typhoon on 1 Nov. But that did not faze our wonderful guide, Winnie! She reorganised our itinerary to max the time we had before the typhoon arrive which would have stopped all activities. Meeting us at 8.30am, she whisked us to Shanghai Tower - so that we could beat the morning crowd to get up to the observation deck on the 118th floor and take in the breath-taking view before the rolling fog reduced all visibility! Lunch was a v delicious meal of local treats at a famous local bistro after a tour of the Shanghai Museum. Winnie was so thoughtful, she even bought us a green bean soup each for us old folks to hydrate ourselves through the afternoon. Plus - a very pretty pumpkin pastry to celebrate Halloween! We spent the afternoon walking along the Bund with Winnie explaining the history and significance of the different buildings and a tour of the French Quarter after that. All these could not have been done the next day when the typhoon brought gusty wind and heavy rain. Because of Winnie's initiative and hard work on 31 Oct, we got to see the Shanghai we came to visit! Kudos to you, Winnie! more

According to your prearranged schedule, your private guide will meet you in your hotel lobby. A comfortable vehicle will be ready for your 2-day Great Wall tour.
It takes about 2 hours to get from Beijing to the Great Wall at Mutianyu. Have a round-trip cable car ride for ascending and descending the wall. You will be free to explore the wall easily on your own, after your guide has offered some introductory explanations.
Enjoy a delicious lunch at our selected local restaurant. After lunch, make a 2-hour transfer to Gubei Water Town. Check-in to your hotel and have some rest.
Your guide will accompany you on the cable car up to the Simatai Great Wall to see the sunset. As dark ensues, the wall lights up and you can enjoy the dreamy night views.

Afterward, we'd be happy to arrange one of three cultural experiences in Gubei Water Town: tie-dyeing, kite making, or Buddhist text tracing. Try a Chinese cultural experience to make your own unique souvenir.
