The Mongolian ger camp was wonderful. ...the local guides Tuya and
Nimo were terrific and made the Mongolian stop off great.

Mongolia/China border was a fantastic experience. (more)Sally Foote

Loads of highlights in our 6 week vacation: seeing pandas & the Terracotta Warriors, walking the Great Wall, sound and light show in Yangshuo, the Potala Palace in Tibet. We also found the building work around us fascinating- such a massive scale, 20 skyscrapers at a time going up plus huge road and rail building programmes. The sheer scale of everything was astounding.
