Liebe Lissy,

danke nochmal für die Unterstützung bei der Flugverspätung in Yichang.
Die Hotelkosten wurden via PayPal gutgeschrieben.

Der Aufenthalt in Chongqing mit dem Ausflug nach Dazu war sehr
interessant und wir hatten eine ausgezeichnete Führerin (Evi) und eine
sehr gute Fahrerin. Evi spricht vorzüglich Deutsch und hat ein großes
Fachwissen, was die Sehenswürdigkeiten sowie die Geschichte etc. dazu
betrifft. Das hat uns allen sehr gut gefallen. Nochmals danke an die beiden.

Die Landschaft der Schluchten ist natürlich beeindruckend und das
Schiffpersonal war sehr freundlich. Aber insgesamt waren wir von der
Kreuzfahrt - offen gesagt - etwas enttäuscht und würden sie nicht
weiterempfehlen:

In Yichang hat die Reiseleiterin in Yichang hat den Transfer gut
organisiert, sie war pünktlich an der Bushaltestelle, das hat gut
funktioniert.

Zu Shanghai möchte ich sagen, dass der Besuch im Tongli-Wasserdorf uns
sehr gut gefallen hat. Wir sind dann abends beim Spazierengehen eher
durch Zufall am "Bund" gelandet und haben hinterher im Internet gelesen,
dass dies ein sehr berühmtes Stück Shanghai ist. Eine beeindruckende
Sicht auf den Stadtteil Pudong! Hier wären Tipps durch den Reiseleiter
für die Erkundung auf eigene Faust am Abend empfehlenswert. Ansonsten
hat sich der Reiseleiter Ying in Shanghai sehr flexibel gezeigt.

Zum Schluss nochmal vielen Dank für die ausgezeichnete Organisation!

Nun grüße ich herzlich von Deutschland nach China.

Hi Michael,

I am replying to your email regarding the Lhasa booking at the Sheraton. I know we chose the Hotel ourselves, but it was not a particularly good hotel (in my opinion). The staff however were excellent and very eager to help. I found the hotel drab and really not up to the standard of some Sheraton Hotels. I do keep in mind that in Tibet one has to lower ones standards. The Restaurant food was just okay and its representations of western meals poor and expensive.

We did have one experience which merits special mention of the people on night duty at the Sheraton. On our last night there, Colin was experiencing breathing difficulties and at about 12.30am we decided to call a doctor. I went downstairs to the night duty boy and made myself understood even though his English was poor and my Chinese impossible. Within 10 minutes we had a Doctor at our room and quickly examined Colin and brought up the Oxygen. Thankfully that was all that was needed and he was able to settle and breathe properly again. The night staff also arranged for one of their English speaking staff to come and help translate for us. All very commendable and just thought this should be mentioned to you. It was not a pleasant experience but handled very well by the staff.

The Li River cruise was fun, but the food was disgusting. I don’t think there is anything you can do about it, but really it was so poor that I would in future recommend to others that they take their own lunch. We loved our trip to China and everything that was organised for us. Everything we did was an experience in itself. By and large all our guides were excellent and enjoyable company too.

I don’t think there is anything else to comment on.

It was lovely to meet you and for you to invite us for a meal together. We wish you well.

Kind regards

Roe Wise

Regarding the guides, as I previously wrote, we have used guides all over the world and the Beijing guide, “Leo”, was the best that we have ever encountered. He was very committed and conscientious. He was wonderful and made Beijing a wonderful experience, seeming like a genuine friend to everyone of us.? He worked very hard to make sure that everyone's needs and concerns were addressed – I cannot say enough to describe how much everyone in the group appreciated “Leo”.

Your services and those of the guides and drivers were excellent and exceeded our expectations. I have never used Twitter and I prefer not to publicly “like” companies on Facebook; however, I will write a very good review of you and your staff on Trip Advisor within the next few days and I will highly recommend China Highlights to anyone I know who is planning on going to China.
