Thanks Ralph so glad you enjoyed your taste of China.

I have never put so much effort into a trip that I have put together, so glad it all worked out so well. A new and pretty logistically challenging program like this is always a risk to undertake. Particularly ensuring at almost all times western food is available and clean western bathrooms.

I am planning on doing it again in early 2016 as it did work out well. Dates are unclear but the program with a just a few tweaks will be the same.

If anyone is interested on a preliminary basis please post here or email me I am forming a waitlist of interest. This requires a LOT OF WALKING and a LOT OF STEPS there is no way around that part of the trip. Getting from the dock on the Yangtze to the street level in one port will be 150 to 200 steps depending on the water height. So anyone with any type of walking difficulties should not even contemplate this tour.

It will be limited to about 20 people.
