China
Did you know you can dine on the Great Wall?
Okay, let’s get to the point—China is a must see, must experience AND go beyond the usual tourist stops!
Don’t get me wrong! Some tourist sights are amazing–such as the Great Wall. Did you know the Chinese called it the Long Wall? Here’s an important tip: Do NOT go to the easiest, closest access point to the wall while you’re in Beijing! Take about an hour’s drive through the countryside and walk the wall away from the maddening (and I do mean maddening) crowds! Here’s a photo of Michael and Barbara’s recent visit to the Great Wall. Notice that it is NOT crowded!
Yes, do Beijing, Shanghai, and Xi’an. Yangzi River cruise? Depends on what you are expecting, the time you have to spend in China, and whether you’d rather take time to visit some more off-the-beaten path cities, towns, or perhaps hike or trek?
Our friend, Gerald, has lived in China since 1983. We’ve traveled with him and have found that he has the insider info so needed in this intriguing country. He even managed to keep a museum open “after hours” for us because we were running late. Now, that’s service—the service Great Getaways and our partners are known for!
