Xi'an Dumpling Banquet and Tang Dynasty Show

My Rating

The Tang Dynasty Show is superb and definitely worth going to. The Dumpling Banquet was good but I did not go to the one at the theatre itself.

Xi'an Shuttle Transfer: Airport to Hotel Roundtrip
Xian, China
My Rating

This is essential but the English guide did not go back to the airport with me. She also told me that the booking that I had made for the night I arrived was cancelled and I would go the following night. I objected and my booking was reinstated.

Beijing Acrobatic Show and Peking Duck Banquet Night Tour
Beijing, China
My Rating

The acrobatic show was good but it was not sensational. I am sure there are better shows in Beijing. The Peking Duck was average and was not cut at the table.

My Rating

This was a good tour and the guide, Ming, was excellent. My only criticism is that the Hall of Jewelery, the Hall of Clocks and Watches and Ther Imperial Treasury were not included. I went back later myself to do these.

Great Wall of China at Badaling and Ming Tombs Day Tour from Beijing
Beijing, China
My Rating

I did not get the iconic view of standing on the Wall with the Wall rolling off into the distance. The guide was great but I think there was a miscommunication. He gave us the choice of the steep area with less people and the good view (which we took) or the busier section with not as good a view. I think that his idea view of the view was the view overlooking the valley. This was not what we were expecting.

Beijing International Transfer: Airport (PEK) to Hotel Roundtrip

My Rating

Great service. The driver on the return trip actually checked me in. This transfer makes life much easier. Taxi drivers at Beijing Airport are not very helpful.
