China and Tibet

Our nineteen day tour of China and Tibet will expose us to the cities of Beijing and Wuhan before we spend 5 nights on the Yangtze River. Then we vist Chongqing, Dazu, Chengdu, Lhasa, Xi'an, Guilin, Yangshuo and Shanghai. We will experience the Great Wall of China, visit the 3 Gorges Dam, marvel at the Terra-Cotta Warriors, tour Lhasa's Potala Palace and the 1,300 year-old Jokhang Temple with its ancient Bhuddist masterpieces.

Count Down

Potala Palace, Lhasa, Tibet
Exactly 8 weeks to go until we leave on our Asian adventure. We are all paid up; we have all our shots (recommended but not required—we got 'em anyway); we've applied for our Chinese visas and are diligently studying up on Chinese culture, crafts and cuisine. The present turmoil in Tibet has Eileen somewhat concerned but I think it will be suppressed (although not resolved) by the time we arrive in Lhasa. At any rate, I don't think it will pose any great threat to PRUDENT tourists. What do you think?

I think you'll be fine! The two of you are well traveled and alert, and have clearly done a lot of research in preparation for your trip. It's going to be great!
