The vacation was spectacular and offered a huge variety of activities that kept even our 16-year-old son entertained for the entire duration.

Memorable parts?
Visiting the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an and seeing the amazing jade carvings and Buddha statue.

Beijing airport is full of fairly elaborate scams - call your guide if you can't immediately see them. It's worth getting a SIM that works in China, too, for this

It is hard to decide on one thing that was the 'most memorable' - We loved the entire trip!

Hard to pick out high points of this vacation because there were no low points.

The Laconia coastal bike tour was such a fantastic way to really see the country and feel like you've lived a bit of it... the scent of hot olives and orange blossom greeting us as we meandered through little back roads and dirt tracks we would never have thought of taking if we'd been finding our own route...
