Dear Judy,
Thank you for the most memorable China - Yunnan 2002
Tour that you organised
for Mike and me.
We will come back to Kunming again or have you to organise our next China
Trip at different destinations in future.
The itinerary was appropriate for 12 days as recommended
by the Yunnan Overseas
Travel Service web site.
However, it will be more time and cost saving to travel from Kunming to
Dali, then Lijiang and Shangri La, fly back to Kunming based on the
geographical locations instead of flying from Kunming to Lijiang, then
Shangri La, back to Lijiang, then Dali and Kunming.
The vegetarian meals were good - specially the wild
mushroom steamboat and
the " Crossed Bridge Mee Fan" at Kunming and the authentic vegetarian
meal
at Chiju San.
Caring Tour Guides - Joseph at Lijian and you at Kunming
and experience
drivers - Master Wang and Siu Yang were rare these days which could be
the
most important factor of the tour. We were lucky to have you all.
The entire success of the quality trip is based on
their ability to interact
with the customers.
The extra cost for experience Guides and drivers is worth it.
Perhaps a little warning - good walking shoes and
fitness for fair bit of
cave and mountain walk are expected (minimum 1 hour walk one way direction
at each destinations is expected, there is no turn back) or prepared to
be
carried up hill or on a horse back at additional cost.
Individual Hotel shower facility is highly recommended
instead of shower
available in the bathtub to prevent slippage. Alternatively a bath mat
on a
wet used bathtub is an alternate arrangement for the influx of tourist
in
2008 for the Olympic.
Inclusion, we have enjoyed the Yunnan trip and will
definitely recommend
your services to other travellers.
With best regards,
Sim and Mike

Hi,Dear Mike
I fax the itinerary to you this afternoon . Thanks
for Orchid's praising ,
I am just a ordinary person in Kunming. In fact , there's no difference
between the Mandarin and English Speaking for group of 2 people in
Yunnan.Consider that you work in tour industry . We try our best to supply
you a very favor quotation to you : 970US$/person. There are thousands
of
domestic tourists pour into Dali,Lijiang to travel during the three golden
weeks (three Public Holidays :Spring Festival , May Labour Day:May 1st-7th,
Otc National Day :Otc 1st-7th) . The coach fee ,hotel room rate , and
local
reception fee will float up , nobody could estimate the situation's price
at that time , we quote based on the last Otc. Holiday , we have some
risk
to do your tour if the coach fee floats higher than last year .
We will arrange a special Yunnan Wild Mushroom dinner
to you during you stay
in Kunming. Please open the attachment file to read the confirmed itinerary
.
Warmly regards
Judy
