    Thank you so much for this incredibly detailed and wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled that your journey through Xi'an, Beijing, and Shanghai was such a great experience. Rita will be overjoyed to hear that she cared for you so well, even buying rain ponchos and umbrellas. Kevin will be delighted that his history lesson at the Great Wall was fantastic. And we are so glad the Shanghai river cruise and market visits were memorable. Knowing you got a good feel of Xi'an as an ancient city and Beijing as a cosmopolitan marvel means the world to us.
