It is worthwhile to visit the most popular places in the most glamorous cities in China. Also, the staffs from China Discovery were friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this tour since it was reasonably priced and covered most of the “must see” sights.

Eddie M.‚ Australia, May 17, 2011

 

We start our China tour from Hong Kong. Although the time is only around one week, we had visited most highlights in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. Our local guides had a wealth of knowledge not just in the official sights, but also in the small details that only a true local would know.
