Auch besonders erwähnen möchte ich die Hilfestellung, die Lissy uns angedeihen ließ. Ein von uns im Flugzeug vergessenes I-Pad wurde wiederbeschafft. Wir haben schon gar nicht mehr daran geglaubt. Auch hierfür nochmals ein herzliches " Danke schön ".

Gabriela Apr 28, 2013 - May 2, 2013

Liebe Kim,

jetzt sind wir wieder zu Hause und sprechen immer wieder von unserer China-Reise und den unvergessenen Eindrücken. Die Kriegerin Hua Mu Lan hat einen Ehrenplatz neben dem Terracotta-Soldaten und dem Jade-Buddha. Nochmals vielen Dank, auch an die Reiseleiter und vor allem an Lan, welche wir besonders in unser Herz geschlossen haben, nicht nur wegen dem Geburtstags-Geschenk. Und, wer auch immer uns nach unserer Reise fragen wird, wir werden Sie gern empfehlen.

Mit den herzlichsten Gruessen

Bruno Apr 12, 2013 - Apr 26, 2013

Hallo,liebe Kim,

Ja,wir sind wieder gut zu Hause angekommen.

Was die Reise anbelangt,so waren wir von vielen Dingen beeindruckt und auch ueberrascht.

.Die Reise im Nachtzug war schon sehr stressig.Aber das liegt vielleicht auch an unserem Alter.Aber die Fahrten mit den Tagzuegen sind wirklich sehr weiterzu empfehlen.

Das Wetter war sehr gut fuer unsere Aktivitaeten.Genau die richtige Zeit.

Was die Hotels anbelangt,so waren diese alle sehr gut,in Lage und Ausstattung.

Die beste Sehenswurdigkeit koennte ich jetzt so nicht sagen.Sie waren alle sehr beeindruckend und interessant.

Meinem Mann hat am besten die Terrakottaarmee und Shanghai mit seinen Skylines gefallen.Besonders die Fahrt mit dem Schiff am Abend.Wirklich sehr schoen.

Wenn ich jetzt alle Eindruecke schreiben wuerde,das waehre sehr viel.

Beijing Stadt ist schon (fuer uns) eigenartig.Der Verkehr!!!!Oh du meine Guete.Sehr beeindruckend wie die vielen Menschen damit umgehen koennen.

Xi'an war da schon anders.

Der Reisefuehrer und Fahrer 'Spitze'

Aber das haben wir ja schon im Reisebericht erwaehnt.Fuer die Show am Abend unbedingt Werbung machen.Sie war sehr schoen.

Die Nebelstadt macht ihren Namen alle Ehre.Aber unsere Reisefuehrerin war auch sehr nett und hat alles erklaert was man an einem halben Tag vermitteln kann.Und dann das einchecken auf dem Schiff.Ein Abenteuer.Ohne Unsere Begleitung haetten wir das niemals geschafft!!!!Super.

Was wir dann auf dem sehr schoenen Schiff erlebt haben,am Ende,kann man sonst niergendwo erleben.Das geht,glaube ich,auch nur in China.

Wir hatten das Glueck,dass wir uns an eine Reisegruppe mit Rollstuhlfahrerinnen anschliessen konnte.Aber dieser Reisefuehrer!!Man kann seine Art und Kompetenz garnicht genug loben.Er hat sich nicht nur um seine Gruppe gekuemmert,sondern auch um uns.

Das Ender der Schiffreise war wohl chaotisch,weil das Schiff zu lange in den Schleusen war.Dadurch haetten wir Niemals den Zug nach Shanghai erreicht.Ohne die vorbildliche Hilfe des Reiseleiters Herr Huang und der Besatzung hat es aber alles Geklappt.

Vielleicht koennen Sie den Herrn Huang auch bei Chinahighlights mit aufnehmen!!

Herr Huang hat fuer uns nicht nur mit Chiang telefoniert,sondern auch den checkout fuer uns gemacht und zum schluss auch noch unsere Koffer an Land gebracht.

Wir moechten uns nochmals recht herzlich dafuer bedanken.Auch bei der Besatzung.

Das war unser absolutes Highlight in bezug auf Aufmerksamkeit,Kompetenz,Umsichtigkeit und der Willen zum helfen.

Die anderen Reiseleiter hatten es da wesentlich einfacher,was auch gut so war.Sie waren alle aufmerksam und bei kleineren Problemen immer zur stelle.Sehr gut.

Auch die Fahrer waren sehr umsichtig und sicher in der Fahrweise.Man musste nie auf sie warten.Sehr gut.

Was das Essen anbelangt,so war es sehr gewohnungsbeduerftig.Aber das ist ja wohl auch normal.Die Asiatische Kueche ist eben anders als unsere.Aber man wusste immer was Man isst.Vieles war sehr lecker.Aber kein Mensch isst alles.

Mit dem Einkaufen war es O.K.Man wurde zu nichts genoetigt einzukaufen wenn man nicht wollte.

Kurzum war diese Reise sehr interessant und lehrreich.Man hat viele Eindruecke mitgenommen.Es wird noch eine Weile dauern,bis man alles im Kopf ausgewertet hat.

Ich wuerde diese Reise mit China Highlights sehr empfehlen,aber in unserem Alter ist man vielleicht in einer Gruppe besser aufgehoben.

Nochmals vielen Dank fuer die Muehe,die Sie mit uns hatten

Wir verbleiben mit freundlichen Gruessen

Bruno und Rosemarie Florio

Wir wuerden China Highlights Weiter empfehlen!

Alison Apr 28, 2013 - May 5, 2013

We were really impressed with the quality of the guides, particularly Phoebe in Chengdu. The guides were always ready to help us and were there to meet us even when the schedule changed. We would most definitely recommend China Highlights to our friends.
