Dear Grace,

Thank you. We are doing well. After working through our photos, we will send you the best, of course. If you need more, please let us know. And you can use them for your homepage as well, of course.

Here in New Zealand, there are very few people and only tiny cities and villages. As we are travelling with a Camper van, it took us a long time to get a WIFI Spot, which works for more than 5 min. Because of that, you receive our email so late. We are sorry for that.

To your questions:

1. It is impossible to name the best attraction. It's especially the combination of different impressions that build the whole piece.

2. Beside you, David in Lijiang was most outstanding tour guide. He cared really a lot, especially for the baby. He extra provided us with a sheet of paper for showing to waiters how to prepare the food: not too hot, not too sour etc. And during the walk through the old town he showed us important landmarks for our own orientation and possible places to go in our free time. Nevertheless we never had the Impression that we should visit and buy in special shops. He told us a lot of Naxi- special things. It was great to get this 'first hand' information.

3. All hotels were perfectly all right. The Pigs Inn in Xidi Village was gorgeous. We liked it the most, because it was so authentic. And the food there was delicious!

4. Special suggestions for Europeans: They shouldn't miss the great Chinese food and the way of eating: Chinese breakfast, all the delicate dishes, eating together, with chopsticks!!

In Lijiang we visited the Naxi Orchestra; this is a thing we would recommend others to visit. And, of course, the Sanjie Liu Show in Yangshuo! It was great!!

We are looking forward to share our great pictures and experiences on Tripadvisor!! Of course we will recommend you!!! You and your company did a super-great job, it was organized perfectly and we had a great time in China.

Best regards from the New Zealand summer!
