Another trip we went to was Guilin, which is an otherworldly place down in the south of China, and there are these amazing karsts or, great mountain outcrops in the water, and you can just drift slowly through these, the river itself is very shallow and they have very shallow boats, but that was a lovely place.
Some of the parks in China were also worth seeing. And we went to Shanghai and saw the Great [sic –should be Grand] Canal there going up to Beijing. We went to Beijing, saw several of the Institutes there and saw the Forbidden City.
