We’ve had a brilliant time in China, seeing some sites and experience culture far beyond what we expected. Unfortunately we did have a few delays when entering the country, but our guides – Benny and Sophie, helped out a lot by improvising around our delays to make sure we had the best time we possibly could in China.

In particular I very much enjoyed the food while Simon & Shaun seem to have rather suffered the consequences from eating it…the smelly (fermented) tofu was perhaps a step too far even for me though.

More than anything, this has been an incredible cultural experience which gives a nice contrast to the Middle Eastern and European cultures we had earlier experienced.
