Really enjoyed this experience of China .Accommodation, transport , both included and optional tours , were for the most part very well organised and of high standard. I understand that visits to factory outlets are sales oriented and can impact on sightseeing. ( i would have enjoyed more than 40 minutes at the Lingering Garden) also, I believe transport could be provided between residence and cemetry on the Confucius tour ( 2 km walk). These comments in no way should stop anyone from taking this wonderful opportunity to tour and explore China. Make sure you get out from the hotels to walk around , shop and dine. I enjoyed the trip and the dealings with Expedition Exclusive.
