Experiences from the Tours
Bowen, we've nearly come to the end of our China tour, and what
a
delightful experience is has been! !t certainly has lived up to
the
title on your website "The Wonders of China." We feel
so fortunate to
have had your tour company recommended to us.
We've been so impressed with your organizational skills, your
attention to details and above all, your friendly, outgoing personality.
We can sum up the trip with one of your favorite words "Perfect."
There was precious little that we had to "suck up."
We thought maybe Saturday would be such a day, but as it turned
out it was a "perfect" day for climbing the wall.
You've lodged us in 5-star hotels, dined us in very classy
restaurants, and you've taken us to see so many interesting sights
as well as to see great shows.
So, on behalf of all of us here, I'd like to extend a very warm
and
sincere thank you for all of your efforts in making this a very
enjoyable and memorable event. Here is a small token of our
appreciation.

It’s a Long Way To China
- Song written by Evelyn Werner for Bowen
It’s a long way to China
It’s a long way to go.
Bowen, Frank and the Helens taught us everything we Know.
ShangHai was exciting
Full of interest and bright lights.
But the bikes and mopeds had all the RIGHTS.
Then came Yi Chang more stairs up and down..
A tiny museum in a country town.
Onto the Yantze River we boraded our boat
And watched while through the locks we did float.
We were paddled down a river
In a tiny pea pod boat.
Our oarsmen were amazing
As they had our boat a racing.
No one is complaining as were having such great fun.
We’ll have such great memories
When our trip is all done.
More fun and games ahead of us
More chinese food and beer.
It’s a long long way to China
But were sure glad we're HERE.
We have travelled to many different places around the world and
our recent trip to China with WONDERS OF CHINA TOURS was at the
top level. Our escort, Bowen Li, was knowledgeable, caring, always
available and quick to meet the groups' and individuals needs.
This trip was outstanding in value. Everything ran smoothly. Our
accommodations, check-ins, meals, transportation, scheduled tours
and guides were closely monitored by our escort.
There were so many highlights. The metropolis of Shanghai with
its outstanding architecture, lit-up waterfront, beautiful gardens,
temples and museums were wonderful to visit. The cruise on the
Yangzi River and viewing the Gorges and Dam project was amazing.
The Pandas and Siberian bears in Chong Quing zoo were entertaining.
Eling Park, with its bamboo groves, where we sang and danced with
some of the local people, was delightful. We enjoyed the wonderful
meals including Peking Duck and Dumpling dinners. The stop at
the Tibetan Medical Centre for foot massages was an unexpected
pleasure. Learning about Chinese painting, embroidery, cloisonnne,
silk,pearl and jade manufacturing, and the long impressive history
of China, was most informative.
The drive through the narrow streets of the old Beijing Hutong
district in rickshaws was very special. This was topped off by
visiting and having lunch in one of the homes there. We also learned
to make dumplings for when we get home.
Seeing the Terracotta Warriors in Xi'An where they were discovered,
walking The Great Wall of China- the eighth wonder of the world,
standing in Tian'anmen Square was to us unbelievable that we were
really there. We were entertained by the acrobats in the Portman
Acrobatic Show as well as the beauty of the Tang Dynasty Show
and Beijing Opera. And , of course, as promised, the bargain shopping
was a lot of fun. We came home happy, tired and with another suitcase.
Thanks for everything, Bowen. It was great.
Life is full of surprises, and travelling is like reading a book.
China certainly was a book filled with mystery, magic and wonders.
Every day was such a delight!
I love meeting people, tasting different foods, hearing languages,
feeling different emotions and seeing new things. China made me
fully alive - all my five senses were constantly filled to the
brim!
Bowen, you deserve an Oscar - that I give to you. Thank-you so,
so much for such a wonderful trip. I love China and shall pass
the love on.
Love, Estelle C.
All 100% of the people who travelled to China with Bowen
in Oct/Nov 1006 stated that they were "Very Satisfied"
that they had received what they had paid for, many with underlines
and exclamation points!
Some of the comments from the post-trip surveys:
- Fantastic! Bowen, you have done a superb job to organize this
trip. Such variety from sights, to food, to evening entertainment.
- This trip will be the highlight experience for many years to
come.
- I personally considered this to be a tour of a lifetime!! Learned
so much about China! Excellent organization!!! Your efforts to
keep all of us safe, happy, comfortable was very appreciated.
Only comment or suggestion that I would make is to spend more
time at Panda Park and Eling Park. Otherwise terrific tour. I
can’t say enough good words!
- We will bore all our friends and relatives about all our positive
experiences. Also, because we are not great picture takers (the
camera is always left on the bus) we will tell them to
go to the web site and view our tour group pictures.
- Very impressed how much effort you put in to get us food for
all dietary needs. It was above and beyond expectation. Guides
were great. Transportation was great and numerous extras were
a surprise and welcome. If you want to go to China, go
with Bowen Li.
- I will recommend this company for travel to China to all my
friends. Having an escort who is so knowledgeable about the language
and China is absolutely priceless. Our escort went beyond my expectations
to provide a wonderful experience for everyone.
Dear
Bowen,
