Our five nights at Guilin Ming Garden were great as well! It is certainly our favorite place in China. The apartment is remodeled, extremely clean and has a great view; having internet access is a nice touch and there is plenty of room for our entire family. After a long day of fun, it was relaxing to come home to delicious home cooked meals prepared by our nanny Mrs Huang.She made us feel right at home with her traditional Cantonese home cooked dinners: her normal dinner consist of soup, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes; very much like the meals our Cantonese parents made for us when we were younger and the meals had brought back fond memories.

China's Great Cities and Waterways Tour
Set sail for your breathtaking Yangtze River voyage today!
Cruise through the amazing Three Gorges, which bridge Yichang and Chongqing, then explore the Lesser Three Gorges by motorized sampans. Don't forget to look for the golden monkeys playing on tree tops and caves that housed the coffins of ancient Ba people along the way. Approximately 100 towns vanished in 2003 due to the rise of water level, caused by the on-going Three Gorges Dam Project. More areas are expected to disappear, so treasure this valuable chance to explore the Gorges before the scenery changes once more!
