October
6th – 17th, 2009
This is another remarkable China Tour – to southern China. As a poem
goes, ‘The spring lasts the entire year and the flowers bloom in all
seasons’. No wonder Kunming is known to visitors from home and
abroad as the Spring City. The areas that we will visit on this tour
are all tropical.
I have been to this area before and was so amazed to see how
different it really is compared to other areas in China. It truly is
tropical with such diversity of plant material. We are including
visits to minority villages on this tour as well. I think it will
give you a much better understanding of China and its people. When I
had the opportunity to see these villages, I came away with more
empathy and a better understanding of what their life is like. They
are truly wonderful, warm and friendly people.
We will again have great air fares from Vancouver, BC with Air
China. I look forward to seeing this part of China again and if you
want to join me, please send your registration forms. Please make sure you read the comments on our last China
tour under
