  Our group tour Enchanting China was the first group tour for us. With 33 participants, it was well booked and we were a little skeptical. At the end of the trip, we can only conclude that it was absolutely magical. In addition to the great tour group, the prudent and super-structured tour guide contributed significantly to the success of the trip. We had thought that the tour operator would cut corners due to the price of the overall package and had expected simple hotels. But here, too, we were very pleasantly surprised. According to the tour operator, the trip is not suitable for people with walking difficulties. This advice should be taken seriously. The day is packed with activities and involves a lot of walking (15-20000 steps a day, up and down stairs). Only the days of the river cruise are more relaxed. If you take this into account, you will be rewarded with an infinite number of impressions. Whether it's cities with millions of inhabitants, ancient China, monasteries or nature, there are still many impressions to process after the trip. It is advisable to buy and set up an e- Sim with unlimited volume before the trip. You should also install Alipay and WeChat in advance. You don't necessarily need someone who is already on WeChat to install WeChat. We were able to install it using our Facebook account. Contrary to what is often described, you do need cash. All tips, optional excursions and drinks at dinner are paid in cash. Please avoid liquids over 100 ml (even in your suitcase). What is not a problem on flights is a problem when traveling by train. Travelers are allowed to have many 100 ml bottles, but no larger ones. This applies to perfume, hair care and deodorants. If you are lucky, it will pass inspection, but it is possible that the expensive perfume will then be rejected...it doesn't matter how much is in the bottle, the size of the bottle is decisive. Anyone thinking of getting a first impression of China will not be disappointed by this well-planned and structured trip. From our point of view, the price-performance ratio of this trip is unbeatable. It was certainly not our last trip with Bavaria Fernreisen. Jörg and Kerstin in September 24

  I had been planning to visit China for some time and searched for a long time before deciding on this trip. It had exciting destinations and promised to give me a good first impression of the country. Now that I've been home for two days, I have to sort everything out. My impressions: The country is gigantic, diverse and left a deep impression on me. The route was very well chosen and the destinations were both urban, rural and historical. A country with thousands of years of tradition and a culture that can also give us a lot. What was particularly interesting for me was how a country manages to transform itself from an agricultural country into a highly developed industrial country within 40 years, how the people are taken along. And that is interesting. To live, you need a cell phone and possibly a passport, or a passport for tourists. You can use it to pay for anything and get in anywhere. With AliPay and Wepay, you can pay for anything, whether at a vending machine, a street vendor or in stores, etc. Interesting for me, but also a technical development. And I have to say, the trip opened my eyes. Here you realize where we are. In Beijing or Xi'an, it feels like 70% e-cars, 50% e-buses and almost 100% mopeds, cabs and vans are electric. This is how electromobility works and it benefits the city air. But you also see a lot more e-mobiles in rural areas than here. Not to mention thousands of rental bikes everywhere on the roadsides (neatly, not like in Berlin) and in traffic, where they have their own lanes. Particular highlights were the rice terraces, Phoenix, Fenghuang with its historic old town, but also the Great Wall of China or the Terracotta

  This trip is rightly called "Magic China". The impressions can hardly be put into words. The temples and pagodas in the middle of huge modern metropolises, in contrast to the simple rural life, the glowing places in the evening are simply fascinating and sometimes indescribable. Just like the trips on the Yangtze or Li River through the incredible landscapes and gorges. This country has so much to offer and will remain in our memories forever. But all that glitters is not gold: this trip was very organized and well-planned, sometimes a little too much so. There were some places where we would have liked to spend more time, e.g. the Great Wall, only one of our group made it all the way to the top, unfortunately everyone else had to turn back halfway because the journey was already continuing. The time in Shanghai was also far too short, this fascinating city deserved a lot more time. Instead, we spent hours in a silk factory, where the production process was explained in spurts before we went into the sales rooms, where we suddenly had endless time. But that didn't dampen our enthusiasm for this country
