Caroyln - not only a great review, but timely as well! We are booking the four day Yangtze river cruise for late September and then go on to Hong Kong to meet Ngaire's group for the Mariner's Oct. 4 sailing to Beijing.
If you can share any details about getting the visa to enter China, I'd appreciate it - ie, which visa service did you use? How long did it take? Thanks very much, Anne
