Hello David,
We had a lovely stay in China and discovered the richness of its many cultures. Overall, the hotels and guides gave us a warm welcome, with a special mention for the English-speaking guide in Kunming and the last two French-speaking guides in Xi’an and Beijing. As for the difficulties, we struggled with Chinese food. It was fine in the hotels, except at the one in Tiger Leaping Gorge (not good and far too expensive, more than in Shanghai!). We didn’t get the chance to visit Kunming, which is a shame because the city looked great. Thank you again to you and your teams for all the wonderful discoveries you made possible.
All the best,
Claire, Gilles, Rémi and Thibault
Hello David,
Thank you also for orchestrating our trip, which allowed us, as a family, to discover a China that is grandiose, traditional, surprising and even avant-garde. The varied stops gave us a splendid glimpse of imperial China, and of a Middle Kingdom that has become a spearhead of global modernity. In the coming years, we will certainly return to this unique civilisation, at least I will, a civilisation that could rhyme as easily with utopia as with dystopia.
Hope to see you again soon, and thank you,
Rémi
