When is the best time to have a Yangtze River cruise?
The "best" depends on which you are more concerned about, weather or price. To most visitors,the bestRed Leaves in Yangtze River Autumnseasons for Yangtze Cruise should be the Spring and Autumn, namely, April to June and September to November when the weather is cool and comfortable, neither cold nor hot.
Which cruise line should I choose?
There are different cruise lines to cater different customer demands. Cruising between Chongqing and Wuhan on deluxe ships is the most popular for tourists.
Should I take a upstream or downstream cruise?
Upstream means sailing from lower part of river to the up to the higher part of the river.Less cost, and it usually costs 10%-30% lower than that of downstream and more time onboard for leisure activities, Chinese folk customs, etc. Downstream mean sailing from higher part of the river to the lower part of the river. There is enough time to enjoy the shore excursions because all scenic sites are arranged in the daytime.

The cruise is a great experience. My family and I were happy with it. Please see below for the answers.
I tried to look for another river cruise with another route for next year but it looks like the Yangtze 3 gorges river cruise is the only river cruise available. I look forward to further development in future.
1. Is your travel consultant of our company fast enough to answer your E-mail and patient enough to answer your questions?
2. How's the experience of the cruise?
Great experience considered it was a river cruise in China. Certainly Century cruise can learn from the ocean cruises to make their evening entertaining programmer even more successful in terms of variety and quality, but for now those entertaining shows met my expectations.
Just a note to thank you very much for all your help in arranging parts of my daughter trip to China with her family.
They had a great time. Incidentally they said that the guide in Chengdu (Pandas) was great.
Our entire trip is completed very well. We are all satisfied with your service. You have considered almost every detail during the trip. There is no surprise happened during the trip.
Thank you for arranging a fantastic tour for the four of us on the Yangtze cruise, Chongqing and Guizhou.
You responded to my enquiries promptly and clearly.
The tour guides David and Jason were very knowledgeable and considerate to us. They have a good command of the English language. Jason even arranged for the driver to carry a bag for the most senior of our group up and down the Yue Tang hotel in hilly XIJIANG. This was very much appreciated.
I would recommend your services without hesitation.
The cruise was great, truly 5 star standards. The price was very reasonable, my cabin was very good, the dining room and meals were fantastic, and the open air upper deck was wonderful too. Other things like the bar area, gym, and snack shop also helped make things more enjoyable. The on-board staffs were all very professional and friendly and bilingual. The on-board entertainment and scenic spots during the cruise were very well presented. Offshore excursions were very well planned and impressive and the local tour guides were very good too. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone.
The driver and hotel were very good.
The guide was very informative, who treated us like friends.
Rose and her sister thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
Thank you very much for organising it so well!
Please thank Mr Lee (driver) and Walander (guide Wally) on their behalf.
We are leaving Dulwich College this week and returning to England although we have recommended highly your services to our colleagues.
We like to express our thank and appreciation to you and your great team for the effort in getting us to Yichang- when our flight was suddenly cancelled from Xian.
Could you Please convey our appreciation, gratitude and thank to -the driver who pick us up from Xian airport to the train station, the guides who organized the train tickets and the one who met us at Wuhan Station and the driver who met us at the Yichang Stations.
My family and I were really enjoyed our 19days trip in April, 2018 and it was organized by you.
During our trip, our tour guides Scott, who toured Kunming, David toured Zhangjiajie and Also another David toured Chongqing. They were excellent and knowledgeable about the areas. We got picked up on time and were toured to many intresting scenic spots in surroundings. We were really having good times.
Absolutely, I will recommend you and your company to family and friends, who likes to travel to China.
Thank you so much Wonder!
I'm great, how are you? The cruise was fantastic, thank you for helping me book it! Here is my feedback and you are more than welcome to use it on the website. Unfortunately the only photos I have are with people I met on the cruise and they asked me never to post them online on Facebook or any other site, I hope you understand.
1) Travel consultant was wonderful - so kind and patient and answered all of my questions in a friendly and helpful manner. A truly pleasurable experience: I rarely experience such excellent customer service.
2) Cruise staffs were also great. Always polite and attentive and even those who did not understand English did their best to help me with whatever I needed. Everyone was very efficient and accomplished at their jobs.
3) I would 100% recommend this company.
Thanks again, Wonder, I hope you are having a great day.
Just a word of thanks having got back from our 3 Gorges river trip. Thankfully my health had improved enough to go and I had a wonderful time and even felt strong enough to do all those 300 step excursions from the boat every day! My friend Wayne had some back trouble on the penultimate day but the treatment Dr Liu gave him seems to have put him right. A good example of Chinese medicine!
The trip was really lovely. I' de be glad to send you some photos, but this will take some time after getting back to Berlin. So you will hear from us at the beginning of November.
Just back from the extension of the trip to Vietnam.
First thank you for all your work to make this trip to China memorable. All of the arrangements were in place, all of the guides and drivers meet as as scheduled, all of the hotels were 4 star and we were well received every where we went.
All of our guides Stephen in Beijing, Jacob Lee in Xian, cherry in Chongging, Nancy in Yichang And Yao in Shangai were all knowledgeable, helpful and fun to be with.
I must single out Cherry. Our flight from Xian was 3 hrs late and we arrived with 45 minutes to make it to the boat for the Yangtze River cruise. She was there took charge of our luggage and Was in touch with the boat to tell them of our progress. When we reached the the dock she Grabbed our largest suitcase and took off down the dock to get us to the ship on time. She is a Great asset to your company as were all the guides and drivers.
There was no information from the airlines about the delays or how long they would be, we were just left to wait in the terminal. From what I understand this is normal and while I know there is nothing you can do about it you should work delays into the schedules and advise your clients about it.
Again thank you for all your work. It was a wonderful trip.
I will gladly recommend you to anyone interested in travel in China.
You are welcome to put this e mail and the photos below on your website.
Thank you very much for your help. I had an amazing experience and I enjoyed my vacation. Please notify all involved my sincere appreciation. I certainly will contact master card concierge in future!
1) Is your travel consultant of our company fast enough to answer your E-mail and patient enough to answer your questions?
2) How's the experience on the ship?
Ship was okay, but all the amenities on board need additional fees. This was a surprise.
I am happy to give the following feedback.
1. You provided us with excellent service right from the start of enquiry to booking to embarkation. Everything went smoothly based on your advice.
2. The cruise was great. It went well except for a minor hiccup with the dam tour.
In fact, we are thinking of another cruise end of the year. I heard there is one from Shanghai to S Korea and Japan. Is your company offering this too?
Thanks again for your prompt, helpful excellent service this trip.
1) Yes, when I sent an email with an inquiry a response was had within the hour.
2) The experience on the ship was a lot better than expected. It was a little disorganized it seemed at boarding, but other than that everything went well.
Thank you. The cruise was very enjoyable.
1) Responses were received very promptly and questions were answered fully.
My wife and I are very well. Now we are in Shanghai where we flew to right after the cruise.
As for the cruise it was perfect, as we had anticipated. Thanks for your expertise in dealing in this particular field of tourism.
1- My travel consultant, Mr. Wonder Wang, was always fast enough to answer all of my questions and showed extreme patience during our relationship.
2- The experience on the ship was as expected very good: a beautiful cabin, good meals, good companions on the cruise and beautiful views along the cruise.
Good morning, we really appreciated your help at China, even though it costs more but it was worth it. The language barrier made it difficult to deal with but having you made it easy.
Thanks again you must really like your job because you're never abrupt, you always answer our phone calls.
We just got back home from the journey. We arrived at Incheon airport last night however, couldn't get on the bus to Daejeon because of no ticket available. We stayed in Seoul overnight and took bus to Daejeon this morning.
your responses to my questions were really fast and I got all the necessary informations right away. No complaint what so ever.
The cruise was very good. Scenery was fantastic, the Sanxia Dam was overwhelming and weather was very cooperative throughout the cruises. Food was OK. We had met wonderful people at the dining table, Germans, American, Pueto Ricans, and Britishes on the downstream cruise. On the up stream cruise, we had all German guests at the table, and majority of the cruise guests were Chineses. Overall it was a good experience and we will remember for a long time.
I hardly take pictures nowadays. I used to have several cameras and enjoyed to take pictures. But after the digital camera and smart phone were invented, I don't care about picture taking any more. I am not keen about SNS either.
Thank you again for your kindness and I enjoyed very much commucating with you.
Thank you so much for checking in with us. We had a really enjoyable cruise and I am very happy to provide a feedback for your kind assistance and the brilliance of Victoria Cruises. Please see my responses below.
I was assisted by youm, Wonder Wang, who replied promptly to all my emails and provided further details which helped me to make an informed choice. Your experience and knowledge on the cruise packages also helped me to tailor our holiday to our specific needs.
Your company's process also helped to make the booking and payment for the cruise really smooth and straight forward.
Our experience of the cruise was brilliant from the time we stepped onto Victoria Jenna till we left. Special mention of gratitude to Dr. Li who went out of his way to accompany me to hospital when I had an unfortunate accident and ensured I had received the care I needed. I cannot imagine how events would have turned out without Dr. Li's help.
The route of the cruise was well planned and the shore excursions were well organised in small groups.
The service on board the Jenna was excellent. From the food and beverage to house keeping and entertainment. We could not fault a thing.
The river guides were very knowledgable and provided valuable insights about the local area and history.
All my needs were adequately met so I can only say Victoria Cruises should keep doing a great job.
I shall try and attached some pictures here for you but if it doesn't work I will send it in a separate email.
Feel free to post my review on your website and look out for recommendations I will send your way. Wonder.
We enjoyed the cruise and the food was good. All the tours were interesting, it was a nice rest from our hectic travel. We did not experience crowds on the tours.
Thanks for arranging the transport to and from the ship all went well.
The cruise was perfect. We were very happy with the upgrade. We were the only one on level 5 and 6. So we had an amazing service.
I will send you some photos and evaluation when I get home.
Thank you for asking about our stay in China. We are enjoying every minute of it presently passing through the water towns south of the river Yangtze.
We are very satisfied with yor service and all your personal attention. We would recommend your company and you personally to anyone at any time.
Regarding the cruise, we enjoyed it very much, the food, the itenerary and all the attention given to us by the rest of the crew. Be assured that we shall be contacting you whe we decide to visit China again.
My travel consultant of your company was fast enough to answer my E-mail and patient enough to answer my question, making reservations and getting our questions answered was very easy.
The cruise experience was excellent, and the cruise exceeded all of our expectations! The service was impeccable, the shore excursions were exceptional, and our suite (We upgraded to the Celestial Suite) was out of this world fantastic! We had our own private sun deck to view China's incredible beauty from. Wow!
We will recommend this cruise to all our friends in Shanghai.
Thanks. The trip was great. My travel consultant of your company was fast enough to answer E-mails and patient enough to answer my questions, and I really appreciate the timely responses.
The cruise was terrific. I would definitely like to recommend your company.
I am still in Yunnan, Dali today and Shaxi tomorrow.
My travel consultant of your company never missed a step to answer E-mails fast and patiently enough.
The service of the tour guides during the whole tour is very good.
I would like to recommend your company.
Sorry for the late response. Back from holiday to very busy work!
I have added my comments below.
You were great in answering questions and making all the arrangements. Thank you Wonder! The cruise was great fun. Leo out onboard tour guide was really helpful and informative. All the staff were incredibly friendly. Expensive drink prices my only real negative. I would definitely like to recommend our company.
Thanks we enjoyed the cruise very much .
the two train rides and the cruise are over, today there will be the third night train ride to Shanghai.
Everything Went perfect until now - and your help has played a big part! Thanks a lot!
1.) Mr. Wonder Wang answered always very fast and had answers to all my questions, even when I had to ask a lot of things shortly before the Trip.
2.) The Cruise was very interesting, the day trips have been good organized, unfortunately there was fog, when WE visited the three gorges dam.
3.) I would choose your company the next time as well! Everything went without any complications!
Thank you for your kind wishes. We loved our trip to China and are eternally grateful for your help in making this Yangtze River Cruise from Chongqing to Yichang so wonderful.
The cruise was quite good. The cabins were spacious for a cruise ship and kept very clean. The food was ok. I would recommend they offer dinner the evening of the departure and lunch on the day of arrival - this would help justify the price, which is too high for what is provided on board now. They should also purchase some DVD's for children.
The travel consultant-wonder was fantastic and responded to all my requests and questions immediately. I would be happy to recommend your company and especially Wonder Wang.
We truly enjoyed our River Cruise. Here are a few answers to your questions. Your service provided was always in a timely fashion. What's more, the service provided on board and by the guides was very good. Although, there were only four English-speaking guests on board, we always felt well informed. And we will have no reservations recommending your company.
I was going to contact you to tell we love the service of your company.
You were always fast, polite and attentive in the answers and very patient in organize the tour as we wished it. All the guides were on time, polite and efficient, following the schedule.
The hotels are all very good. The cruise from Chongqing was lovely and we had a wonderful trip in China.
We arrived home today. Very tired but had a great trip.
The cruise was amazing and we were very pleased. The cruse staff were great, very friendly and accommodating. You are fantastic responded to all our emails promptly and came up with many different options for us. Also you were very patient as we kept changing our mind.
Sorry for the delay in answering.The cruise staff was very nice and professional. Really good service at any time. As a travel consultant, you were really patient answering all our questions with many details about the entire journey.
Thank you for everything, I will recommend your services!
You were right to recommend this cruise. It was perfect. We had an amazing time. The crew were all friendly and helpful. The food was very good, with plenty of choices.
Thank you for always replying to my emails promptly and following with a phone call when you could not get hold of me. I will recommend your service to my friends. And thank you for looking after us Wonder, you provide a very good service.
I had a cruise from Chongqing to Ychang in Victoria Lianna Ship, from July 19 to 22. I must say I loved it. Not only the ship conditions are excellent, the food, the organization and the staff are really fantastic. But I would like to specially mention the name of my Travel Consultant, Mr. Wonder Wang who throughly and carefully arranged all my trip including my flight from Ychang to Shanghai. He is really a high qualified professional whom I will recomment to my friends going to China. I tell you TripAdvisor, you are lucky to have such a professional guy like Mr. Wonder Wang, you treasure him !!! Regards Sofia Matos, from Portugal.
Everything FANTASTIC , thank you, I will recommend to my friends, it was wonderful!!.
We are back to Canada now so let me take a few minutes to answer your questions.
Answers by e-mail were fast enough. Every time that we had concern, you always been able to answer quickly and accurately.
Our guide in Xi'an was perfect. Angela speaks English very well. She likes her job and we can see it. She was always on time, flexible on the schedule and her suggestion as activities, type of restaurant or show were just perfect. We also liked the grand Mercure Hotel, the site was fantastic. Driver was a very good one. We felt safe with him. Over all, a have an excellent guide in Xi'an, probably one of your best.
Over all the concept is excellent. Train or airplane reservation were done in a professional manner, nothing bad to say about it. To improve your service a little bit is maybe try to find a guide that fit with our personality. That could be done in sending a questioner that describe us so you can choose a good fit guide.
Thanks for all your help with our cruise and tours. Your personal service was excellent and our tours and cruise was very, very nice.
The travel consultant is absolutely excellent. I commend Wonder Wang for his great service.
The tours were very nice and the guides were very attentive.
The cruise itself was even better that I expected and the trip through the THREE GORGES was beautiful. It was so good that I have recommended to our Chinese friends to take the trip as well.
1. Your service was wonderful; answering all my queries in no time, giving me detailed itinerary, helping me out with alternative methods of payment etc. I appreciated that. I forwarded your company link to some of my friends too. I am a teacher at a college. We are also thinking of bringing a group of school children as they learnt about Rivers in their social studies. I hope to contact you in the future if this happens in the next academic year.
2. The cruise was wonderful. I had the time of my life. Wonderful food, amazing people, friendly and helpful crew members. And also lots of exciting programs and entertainments.
3. Suggestions: Well! It could be better if we can have some knowledge about lack of public transportation/taxi at the pier in Yichang prior to the trip. Or the company could provide shuttle bus etc to the city centre or airports etc with some charges. The harbour was a little far and no taxis at the harbour. It was hectic. Anyway, we sorted out at the end.
Overall journey was OK. Your company service was excellent. I hope to contact you again for the Tibet. Is it a good time to go in October or in December?
The whole journey was good with your fast and excellent replay to all my requests. Also the cruise service was overall good.
I am back in Bangkok now. I was really lucky with the weather on the gorge cruise. The service of the driver in Chongqing is very good. The help at Yichang station was particularly appreciated. The driver to Zhongshan and Dazu was very nice and helpful.
Thanks for everything and best regards.
We have been back in Australia for about 3 weeks now.
We had a wonderful tour through China and want to thank you very much for your very efficient organization and coordination of all the different activities in the cities we visited.
We wanted it to be very special for my mother who is 84 years old and it exceeded all our expectations.
We were met at every city by very friendly tour guides, who were all prompt, and had good knowledge of their cities and made sure our stay was very pleasant.
The cruise on the Yangtze River was fantastic. We would have no hesitation in recommending your tour company to our friends in Australia and South Africa.
Thank you again for a wonderful tour through the highlights you showed is in China. It was very informative and all the tour guides were very friendly, nobody was ever late and the drivers and vehicles were generally very good.
We look forward to hearing from you again.
Your service has been prompt and very satisfactory. I'll use your service again if there is opportunity. And the cruise is great. The staff are helpful and efficient with very professional. Besides, the optional tours are well organized. Once again thanks for your help.
Though this Cruise Tour has some interlude situation, but what pleased that you and your team guide have responded very well to go extra mile to get us on board even holding up the cruise for an hour for us, that is extremely commendable. We are still enjoying our cruise here.
I came back from China with plenty of nice memories about places, nature, food, tradition. Your service was professional. You gave me all necessary information, you answered fast to my emails.
The cruise was a very good experience. I liked the changing landscapes, excursions, facilities on the boat, a room, a variety of food, a choice of western and Chinese dishes. The local guide was the best from all excursions and gave many important details.
Thank you for your collaboration during our preparations for the cruise.
We thought your service was fabulous! You communicated so fast and clearly with us! We would use you again to book. The cruise was lovely and a good break in our holiday. They did try to include and accomodate us. The guy on the ship who spoke English was really good too. The room was great too.
We are enjoying our time in China very much.Your service was excellent - nothing to improve on. Very quick to answer my questions and give good advice.We enjoyed the cruise very much. Our small group of English speakers meant we had excellent attention from our guides for the excursions.
Sorry for keeping you waiting on our feedback! Since we got back we have been very busy – and haven't had time to write you a feedback!
We are very satisfied on your services! When planning such a journey on your own – we were very aware on factors like logistics, convenience, security, payment and contact.
The cruise was really good to! Thanks for getting us upgraded – we enjoyed it a lot! The executive suites where luxurious and had an excellent location on the ship. All the way through we felt a high level of service and security – and it worked really well with the "onboard cruise guide" who spoke good English and was very helpful if we had any questions. The two guided tours of the ship good too!
The guided tour from Pingyao to Xian was really good. Johanna was very informative and relaxed. Both of the sights were really interesting and pick up, delivery and drive was really good.
Thanks for setting up the day in Xian on such short notice! It was a really good day – and the best guide we had on our journey! He is really good!
We appreciate your service a lot! Thanks very much for your help and patience. And we will off course recommend you and your company!
We are ok, and the Yangtze Cruise was fine. Your service was fine, and you respond the mail very quick, and everything was as you described. The Cruise was a great experience, and staff was great.Thanks for the help and advices.
Sorry for the late reply, we just got back home.
I think your service was excellent. I want to thank you for organising the cruise for me, my husband and my father, we all had a wonderful time. I want to thank you also for arranging to have my father picked up from Chongqing airport by such a lovely guide. My father told me that she was punctual, very informative about Chongqing and China and she stayed with him until he checked into his hotel. This was a great relief for me as I was worried about him travelling on his own. The guide who collected us from Yichang after the cruise was also lovely, she made the drive from the port to the airport very interesting for us. She waited for us to check in at the airport and helped us order food.
Thank you for being so very polite and prompt to reply when I emailed you. Your English is very good.
We all enjoyed the cruise. The cabins were quite spacious and it was nice to have a balcony. The staff on the boat were all friendly and helpful.
I will recommend you and your company to any of my friends who travel to China.
We have recommended you to many people and will continue to do so.
Our trip is proceeding excellently. Tomorrow evening a friend will pick us up and take us to dinner. We upgraded our room in the Intercontinental so that we get use of the pool, breakfast, afternoon tea, Happy Hour and internet, etc. The view across the river to the city is worth the extra just by itself.
It helps to have room in our plans so that today's late flight (2h late) doesn't matter, so we stay relaxed. We try to always have a "Plan B", which means that if something doesn't work out, then we will still be OK.
Ilga has chosen a couple of things to do in Shanghai from your list of suggestions.
Just to let you know that all of the arrangements that you made for me went off like clockwork and everyone was very helpful and lovely.
Thank you so much for making my Yangtzse Cruis a worry free experience.
I think your service and the cruise was very well organized. The quality of the local quides was excellent.The staff at the ship was very helpful and amazingly, talented. Their performances every night were at the professional level.
The cruise was perfect: wonderful ship, good food (children enjoyed also Chinese one, which it's unusual for them here in Shanghai) and nice people at the table.
1. Your service was perfect, too. You answered me immediately, answering to all my questions and explaining carefully different choices.
2. As I told before, cruise was perfect. Except for the fog the day we arrived at Three Gorges Dam. But nobody can do anything for it.
3. My son says he would have liked a ping pong table on the ship, but he enjoyed the swimming pool. Regarding Chongqing, we have been by ourselves in Ci qi kou village and in Three Gorges Museum. We liked a lot the museum and David showed us the new Science and Technologic Museum and the big music Hall. I think it can be very interesting for foreigners a city tour in this new area on the north site of the Jialing River.
Next time we will come to China (in 2016, I believe) I want to come to Chengdu to see panda reservoir and Budda. For sure I will ask you to organize our tour.
Your service was very good.
You did a FANTASTIC job for us. You helped through all the flight changes, boat change, hotel arrangements in Yichang and transportation in Yichang. We loved the cruise, saw some wonderful sights, thought the hotel in Yichang was great and Flora and the drivers were very nice.
I have given your name to our son as he thinks the parents of one of his friends at the university in Chongqing will be coming over in July. I told him I thought they should contact only YOU.
We had good time on our cruise, your service and accommodation were excellent , staffs and service were good. Thanks.
I´m sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I had a little problem with my laptop and could not access my e-mails until now that I got back from China and San Francisco.
Also regret I could not contact you while in Chengdu. I particularly enjoyed Chengdu, beautiful city.
1.- My opinion about your service is very good!!! I hope you can provide me with more services in the future such as a trip to Lhasa including not air from Chengdu but land, bus or train as I understand that part of the attraction is the land journey whereas from the plane you do not see as much. The plane is much more comfortable and faster but you miss a great deal as compared to going by land.
2.- The Yang Tze river cruise was fine but not spectacular. Maybe this is due to the fact that a few months I did the LIN River in Guilin which is magnificent.
The ship, stateroom, dining room and meals were OK. The cruise Director, a fine German lady did a wonderful job with very personal attention to me and other westerners.
As for the rest of the trip I attended the DOMOTEX Fair in Shanghai where I had a wonderful time since I was able to meet with relatives.
Hope we can be in touch for future arrangements. I also intend to go to Mongolia and wonder if it would be easier to get the visa in China a few days before flying to Ulan Bator or taking the train from Beijing.
Thank you again for your excellent assistance.
Yes, century cruises did inform us. Thank you, David was waitig for us at the bus and assisted us to the station. He was most kind. He also refunded the rmb 200. Thank you. Once again, thank you for all your assistance.
We are having a very good holiday.
The cruise was very nice.
Thank you for your help and service.
first of all, let me state that the trip was really worth the money.
Ship was five star, accommodation in the cabin was excellent, food was variable. One small point, when having lunch or dinner in floor 6 of Victoria Anna there was only Coke, Sprite or water available followed later by coffee.
This was because the bar is on floor 5. However a Westerner is used to choose alcoholic beverages during lunch or dinner like beer or wine etc.
So sorry wonder wang I'm traveling so email hasn't been easy!
Cruise was just fantastic, thanks for checking in. Did you need me to fill anything out as a review? I did complete one on the ship.
Thanks kindly for all your help. You made our stay in china much easier.
Many thanks for all your organisation in getting us on the Yangtze Cruise aboard Yangtze 2.
Your frequent correspondence with me right up to the day before the cruise (to tell us the actual pier we had to use) made life very easy.
The cruise was exciting and as the lady cruse director who looked after us and 6 other Westerners was delightful. We were kept well informed of on-board and on-shore happenings but not overwhelmed with too much talk or information.
All meals were excellent with a fine blend of Asian and Western food. The only suggestion I have in regards to meals is that Westerners really like coffee with all meals, not just breakfast.
I have already praised your own service to many friends and hopefully one day they will seek your services.
Our tour arrangements were perfect. Anything we asked for was done very quickly. The whole process was so easy and the service was prompt and friendly. We also do not speak Chinese, you spoke and understood English helped greatly.
We would definitely recommend the service and if the need arises would be very happy to organize any required tours with your service.
Wonder thank you for everything, If we need any other tours in China I will let you know. Much appreciated.
You can rely on our local expert knowledge and endless enthusiasm; tell us your needs, and get a professional proposal with the best quotation within 0.5~23.5 hrs.

The Nature Center's mission focuses in providing quality environmental education experiences, encouraging stewardship of the harbor area and other natural areas, and promoting volunteerism as a rewarding means of community involvement and service.
The nature center offers a full schedule of natural history programs for the general public throughout the year. A wide variety of group educational programs are available as well, either at the Nature Center of Cape May or at alternate sites such as outdoor habitats, schools, or clubs.
The Nature Center of Cape May will be closed to the public, except for special events, until April 15th.
Now in its 5th year, the "Catch of Cape May" is very well-established as the signature event that supports New Jersey Audubon's Nature Center of Cape May while at the same time celebrating one of this region's key economic engines. Hosted by the staff and volunteers of the Nature Center of Cape May, the "Catch," as it is now called, is a truly unique event held appropriately enough, at Cape May's beautiful Harborview Park. The "Catch" is a unique event for three primary reasons. First, is the broad spectrum of individuals who support the event. Supporters include both full-time and seasonal residents who are actively engaged in the political and economic life of this region. Second is the venue. Overlooking Schellengers Creek and the fishing fleet at Cold Spring, Harborview Park provides the perfect setting for a summer evening event. Third, the "Catch" showcases Cape May's epicurean diversity by featuring local selections of seafood and much more. Finally, and most significantly, the "Catch" is just plain fun, as it delivers a night of live music, dancing and dining while overlooking Cape May's magnificent harbor.
An all-inclusive evening fundraiser highlighting local cuisine, live music, silent auction and fun held at the scenic Harborview Park on the Cape May Harbor. Proceeds support New Jersey Audubon's Nature Center of Cape May's mission of providing quality environmental education experiences, encouraging stewardship of the harbor area and other natural areas and promoting volunteerism as a rewarding means of community involvement and service.
NJ Audubon's Nature Center of Cape May has a long history of connecting children of all ages with nature by exploring, discovering and enjoying our harbor, ocean, beach, fields and gardens. There is much to learn from the diverse habitats of Cape May, and our quest for knowledge is never dull when pulling a seine net through the water or walking with magnifying glass in hand. We explore a different topic each week throughout the summer, building upon knowledge each day with a talented team of Teacher Naturalists. Our staff is committed to guiding your child in outdoor adventures that foster a deeper connection with the natural world and while being engaging, fun and informative.
We offer camps for Pre-K through teens. Please note that 3-year-olds must have reached their third birthday before the date they are attending and must be toilet trained.
Children should wear old sneakers, water shoes or sandals with straps around the heel. NO flip flops! Wearing old, play clothes is highly encouraged as we will be exploring nature outside and will be getting dirty!
We suggest applying sunscreen and/or insect repellent at home and have your child wash their hands so that there is no residue left on their hands for when they may be handling animals.
We will have lectures in the classroom and time in the field to learn different tricks and techniques to turn tiny stretches of terrain into premium garden space.
This club will help anyone develop a green thumb and is the perfect way to grow your nature knowledge and stewardship towards our planet.
Your gardens will be the buzz, tweet, and talk of the neighborhood when you get off to a good start with top-quality plants. We emphasize the use of New Jersey native plants, which benefit wildlife and have a strong ornamental appeal for your landscape. Some non-native (but non-invasive) perennials and annuals, which offer an added boost to butterfly gardens, will also be available.
The goal of NJ Audubon's educational programs is to help children understand their relationship to the natural world. Our naturalists steer and focus the activities, tailoring them to meet each group's needs and abilities, to encourage individual and small group discovery. Our hands-on, interdisciplinary activities supplement traditional classes by meeting the NJ Core Curriculum content Standards using inquiry-based learning methods and promoting exploration of our native habitats. Programs are approximately 45 minutes – 1 hour in length, except where noted.

Amazon's Prime Gaming offering five free games in January, including Void Bastards
Amazon is prepping five games to give away with its Prime Gaming service for the month of January. But to be technically correct (the best kind of correct), the service has more than 35 free games to download if you include the previous offerings that are still available. Beyond the five games, the service is also giving away additional gaming content. If you're looking for a purple bounty wagon tint for Red Dead Online, well, my friends, your wait is over.
Naturally, you probably care the most about the free games and not the add-ons. Granted, that purple tint does sound freaking premium. But, you no doubt want to know what's really on offer for Prime Gaming this January. Well, as the headline already spoiled, Void Bastards is now up for grabs. Saddling up next to it is Close to the Sun, the game that desperately wanted to be BioShock. You can also claim Along the Edge, Sheltered, Alt Frequencies, and When Ski Lifts Go Wrong. I think I'll need to play the last one just on the fantastic name alone.
We are experienced with a couple in the aforementioned list. Our own Andrew Farrell absolutely loved Void Bastards, giving it a 9/10 and saying it's "a terrific game that balances the joy of exploration with the fear of failure in a wonderful way." Sadly, such enthusiasm wasn't shared for Close to the Sun. Jason Rodriguez gave the game a 6/10, saying the game's "bland narrative and lack of challenging mechanics, as well as being light on the scares, make for a rather dull experience." Well, they can't all be great. You might have a different opinion, however.
Close to the Sun.
Prime Gaming in January brings more loot
Prime Gaming has more to greedily nab this month. You have until January 15 to get the Winter Bundle for Fall Guys, which will wrap your dorky jelly bean in comfy-ass cold-weather gear. The service is also offering the Kosatka Submarine Sonar Station and up to $1 million in fake money in GTA Online. The former station is connected to the game's latest update, The Cayo Perico Heist. There's a lot more, including content for Paladins, Smite, RuneScape, and Star Wars: Squadrons. Check out the Prime Gaming page to see it all.
You should note that Amazon recently changed the way you play all the free games. Up until now, the service was tied closely to Twitch, and you needed the Twitch app to view your game library and choose what to install. Now, you can't. Instead, you'll have to download your games through the Amazon Games app. Yes, of course this means you'll have to download another damn launcher to throw on the pile. But it's only a launcher; you have no Twitch options to speak of. And as before, you'll need an Amazon Prime account for all this new stuff.

Jallianwala Bagh – The Land That Echos Martyrdom
Jallianwala Bagh unfolds the story of the most infamous massacre during the British rule that left a deep scar on Indians. Spread across a sprawling area of 6.5 acre, Jallianwala Bagh is a public garden situated in the pious city of Amritsar in the state of Punjab. Holding immense national importance, this memorial site was inaugurated on the occasion of Punjabi New Year on 13th April in 1961 by the then President of India, Dr Rajendra Prasad. Owing to its historical significance, Jallianwala Bagh tourism has attracted every tourist visiting the state.
The Massacre At Jallianwala Bagh
The name Jallianwala Bagh itself evokes a spirit of patriotism in every Indian, bringing back the memory of the worst tragedy in the entire history of India's freedom struggle. It was here that the British Army led by General Dyer launched open fire on an unarmed gathering of men, women and children during a peaceful public meeting. The incident, which took place on 13th April, 1919, resulted in the death of hundreds of innocent civilians of India.
Remembering The Martyrs Of Jallianwala Bagh Tragedy
In 1961, a memorial was constructed on the site of the 1919 Amritsar massacre to commemorate the sacrifices of people who became victims of the ruthless firing. To this day, the bullet marks visible on the boundary wall of the park serve as constant reminders of the appalling massacre. The well into which many people jumped and drowned in an attempt to guard themselves from the onslaught of bullets is also preserved inside the park.
At the entrance of this public park is a memorial tablet that gives an account of the history. Another part of the garden has the Flame of Liberty, an eternal flame of remembrance lit in the memory of those who died during the tragic massacre at Jallianwala Bagh. Managed by the Jallianwala Bagh National Memorial Trust, this park-cum-memorial is open to public everyday, from 6 am to 9 pm in summer and from 7 am to 8 pm in winter. Those opting for Jallianwala Bagh tourism can take out time to visit nearby popular attractions like the Golden Temple and Wagah Border.
How To Reach Jallianwala Bagh
To reach Jallianwala Bagh, tourists can either fly to Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport or take a train to Amritsar railway station. Situated a short walk away from the famous Golden Temple in the city, the park is easily accessible via public transportation like autorickshaws, cycle rickshaws and buses or via rental cars.
Jallianwala Bagh Weather
Jallianwala Bagh has extreme summers and winters while the temperature is moderate during the monsoon season.
Best Time To Visit Jallianwala Bagh
The park can be visited throughout the year but, the best time for Jallianwala Bagh tourism is during the cooler months of October through March.

One of probably the most popular electrical wiring concerns is regarding how to wire a change. Even though working with switches at your house is very quick, wiring one particular may well not be that straightforward for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire. You will find several types of switches, but for this instance, let us say you will be installing a single-pole toggle switch, a really prevalent change (as well as the most basic).
You'll find three hues of wires within a usual single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and connect them on the terminal screws - a person on top as well as the other to the base screw from the change. The white wire serves like a resource of uninterrupted ability which is ordinarily connected to a light colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the inexperienced wire to the ground screw of one's swap.
These techniques would generally be enough for making an average switch perform with out a issue. Then again, in the event you are not assured that you simply can attain the process thoroughly and securely you improved enable the professionals get it done alternatively. Just after all, you will find a purpose why this undertaking is probably the most commonly encountered electrical wiring thoughts asked by many people.
For some rationale, tips on how to wire a ceiling fan is usually considered one of probably the most prevalent electrical wiring thoughts. To simplify this process, you should use only one switch for a single ceiling fan. To wire the supporter, it's only a matter of connecting the black wire on the ceiling fan to your black wire from the swap. If there is a lightweight, the blue wire should be linked to your black wire of the switch too.
You'll find causes why they're quite possibly the most generally asked electrical wiring queries. One particular, several consider it's uncomplicated to do, and two, these are definitely the typical electrical jobs in your own home. But then you definately must not place your safety at risk as part of your purpose to save money.

Chinese Poultry to Reappear in EU Markets
3 September 2008, at 8:50am
CHINA - Chinese poultry meat will soon appear on European dinner tables under a European Union (EU) decision, effective on 2 September, to lift a six-year import ban.
The European Commission (EC) has released a list of nine Chinese companies - all in the eastern Shandong province, that are approved to export heat-treated poultry meat products to the EU.
"The EU reopened its markets to Shandong companies after four years of scrutiny. It is good news for Chinese producers and especially farmers," said an official with the Shandong provincial department of foreign trade.
The official estimated that China's annual exports of heat-treated poultry products to the EU could reach 100,000 tons worth US$1 billion.
The EU examined poultry product producers in Shandong, Shanghai and the north-eastern part of China over the past four years. The reopening to Shandong companies is seen as a sign that Chinese companies will have greater market access in the future.
An official with the Shandong bureau of entry-exit inspection and quarantine said authorities had made strenuous efforts to regain access to the EU market.
"The EU reopened its markets to Shandong companies after four years of scrutiny. It is good news for Chinese producers and especially farmers."
Shandong provincial department of foreign trade official
The authorities collected EU regulations, laws and requirements that involve poultry product imports, translating them into Chinese so as to guide companies to operate accordingly in breeding, slaughter and heat treatment.
The EU carried out inspections in Shandong to check on drug residue, bird flu prevention, sanitation during heat treatment and other issues since 2004, according to the quarantine official.
"Several inspection missions carried out by the Commission's services in China have shown that the competent authorities in China, in particular in the Province of Shandong, are sufficientlywell structured to deal with the animal health status of poultry,"reads an EC decision dated July 30.
The EU banned imports of Chinese poultry meat following the outbreak of bird flu on the Chinese mainland in 2004.
"Now we can detect a drop of nitrofuran in a full swimming pool," said quality control manager Lu Yongsheng of Xinchang Meat Co., Ltd., one of the nine Shandong companies. Lu's company invested heavily to upgrade detection instruments.
Xinchang puts a code on every package of its products, which contains information on the production date, place of origin and codes of slaughter houses and farms, enabling the company to establish a specific link in case of problems.
Xinchang sends drugs to national labs for chemical examination before they are used and keeps the drug packages for at least three years.
The EU is one of the major markets for poultry meat consumption with an annual import total of 700,000 tons.
Shandong exported 430 million U.S. dollars worth of poultry meat last year, accounting for half of the national figure. Its export of heat treated poultry meat, valued at 330 million U.S. dollars last year, accounts for 60 percent of the nation's exports.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, China registered a deficit of 7.57 billion U.S. dollars in the foreign trade of agricultural products in the first five months of this year, 14.3 times more than a year earlier.

Opera Coat or Swing Coat - Era?
Discussion in 'PUBLIC Vintage Fashion Q & A' started by Diana Montanino, Feb 6, 2019.
I am trying to identify the the year and style of a coat purchased, it is a dark blue crushed velvet, no tags,elbow length, lining pictured as well, slightly stiff but a beautiful coat.
Any help appreciated thank you!
A little hard to date with out seeing it, but this could be later 1930s - 1950s from what I can see. Striped linings were poular in the 50s, but that sleeve detail looks more late 30s to me.
Hello-thank you! Ugh I know I was researching and maybe had an idea but was definitely not sure - much appreciated!

Q: How does RequestFactory know what Android user is logged in I have an Android app that successfully uses RequestFactory to manipulate Entities in AppEngine Datastore.
In my AppEngine service, I want to use
UserService userService = UserServiceFactory.getUserService();
User user = userService.getCurrentUser();

to get information about the current Android user, but getCurrentUser() returns null.
How does my Android app let RequestFactory know who is logged in?
This question applies to dev mode and production mode.
Thanks.

A: There is a not-so-obvious answer found in the old AppEngine Connected Android Eclipse wizard code, which is no longer available in the GPE (see Util.java of this wizard generated code). It includes the following:
T requestFactory = RequestFactorySource.create(factoryClass);
requestFactory.initialize(new SimpleEventBus(),
            new AndroidRequestTransport(uri, authCookie));

with
public AndroidRequestTransport(URI uri, String cookie) {
        this.uri = uri;
        this.cookie = cookie;
    }

    public void send(String payload, TransportReceiver receiver) {
        HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost post = new HttpPost();
        post.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=UTF-8");
        post.setHeader("Cookie", cookie);

        post.setURI(uri);
        Throwable ex;
        try {
            post.setEntity(new StringEntity(payload, "UTF-8"));
            HttpResponse response = client.execute(post);
            if (200 == response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode()) {
                String contents = readStreamAsString(response.getEntity().getContent());
                receiver.onTransportSuccess(contents);
            } else {
                receiver.onTransportFailure(new ServerFailure(response.getStatusLine()
                        .getReasonPhrase()));
            }
            return;
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            ex = e;
        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            ex = e;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            ex = e;
        }
        receiver.onTransportFailure(new ServerFailure(ex.getMessage()));
    }

Using that code from the GPE wizard did the trick for me.

Since we covered the big Muppet movie(s) news last Friday, for this Muppet Monday post I just have a brief thought/question about the Muppet-verse going forward. In Muppets From Space Gonzo learns that he is not a weirdo or a whatever but an alien. However, I never really considered this official canon (not that the movie wasn't good, but just that I didn't buy the alien explanation). So the question is, as the Jason Segel-penned The Greatest Muppet Movie of All Time inches closer to production, will Gonzo maintain his alien status, or will it be brushed under the rug like Terminator 3?
*Indeed, Muppet Wiki entry on Gonzo notes that his alien origin has been disregarded. Let's see if that holds.


As Momina made her debut in the Coke Studio she is in the limelight. Where many individuals feel that she is very beautiful, one individual feels that she looks like… a 'maid'.
The issue is not that Momina was targeted like this, the real problem lies that what kind of society are we turning into? Completely inhuman, so indecent that the servant which work at our home for hours and make our life easier we tag them as demeaning "kaam waali massi or Maid". It should be understood it's a maid or a GM in a company they all belong to the working group of our society who get paid for the work they do!
Another issue which is too important to be noticed is, that what are we using social media for? Increasing our knowledge, intellect? Getting entertained? For work? Or just for INSULTING others? It is a high time to realize that when one is making comments on social media he/she is depicting his/her own mentality and not causing much harm to the other person. Same goes for Momina. Her response increased her number of admirers including Shahbaz Taseer.

Bruised tailbone - Symptoms, Causes, Treatment, Healing time
medicalcontent
What is a tailbone?
The coccyx, also known as the tailbone, is the bony structure at the base of the vertebral column which assumes a triangular shape. This is not just composed of a single bone but rather of five bone segments. The tailbone sustains some injury since it can get bruised or broken easily. A bruised or broken tailbone is usually associated with pain which is referred to as coccydynia or coccygodynia. The pain brought about by a bruised tailbone may range from mild to severe. There can be several reasons for a bruised or broken tailbone. Usually the coccyx could get bruised, dislocated or fractured. Women are more prone to having bruised tailbone owing to the fact that women have relatively broader pelvis. On a survey conducted by coccyx.org, it was found out that women are five times more likely to suffer from a bruised tailbone.
Symptoms of a bruised tailbone
The most common symptom of a bruised tailbone is pain especially when sitting or standing. The pain is usually aggravated when additional pressure is exerted on the coccyx. However, there could also be other accompanying symptoms such as the following:
Visible bruise - When there is traumatic injury in the tailbone, a bruise may be seen at the affected area.
It may also affect bowel movement since pain is also be felt when defecating.
There can also be several reasons for a bruised tailbone. However, the most common cause of a bruised or broken tailbone is due to a direct trauma on the area. It may also be caused by the following:
Falling on a hard surface which directly injures the coccyx.
Contact sports - Most contact sports may cause direct blow on the tailbone resulting to an injury.
Childbirth - Since the pelvis has to expand during childbirth. It may also likely damage the coccyx.
Straining /Friction - Strain or the friction created in the coccyx during activities like cycling and rowing can injure the tailbone.
There can also be other associated causes of tailbone bruises which include bone spurs, spine injury, nerve root compression, tumors and spine infections.
The cause of the rest of the tailbone injuries remains unknown.
When you suspect that you are suffering from an injured tailbone, it is imperative to seek for medical attention the soonest so that undue damages can be prevented. It is suggested that you visit the emergency department of the nearest hospital so as prompt treatment may be given. However, when it seems impossible to reach the hospital, you may just visit the nearest clinic so as your condition will be evaluated.
By obtaining the patient's medical history and physical examination, a bruised tailbone may be diagnosed. This may be further found out through imaging tests such as x-rays and scans.
Rectal examination - A rectal exam may also be performed to check for dislocation in the coccyx. A finger is inserted into the rectum to palpate for any dislocation. Pain is usually felt when pressure is exerted into the tailbone.
X-rays and Imaging studies - X-rays are also taken to detect for dislocation in the coccyx. Nevertheless, this may not yield precise results. Thus, MRIs are preferred over x-rays to detect for tailbone dislocation.
Bruised tailbone is usually associated with pain. The pain, however, can just be managed at home. The primary goal of bruised tailbone treatment is to alleviate pain. The following can be done at home to relieve the discomforts brought about by broken or bruised tailbone:
In order to relieve pain at the tailbone area, avoid sitting for too long and when you sit do not put too much pressure on the coccyx area. You also have to sit on a hard surface on alternate buttocks so as not to exacerbate pain.
Application of ice pack about 15 minutes would also help alleviate pain. You can do this up to four times daily during the first 24 hours after the injury.
You may also take pain medications such as Ibuprofen.
A doughnut cushion may also be used to keep the tailbone from touching the surface. This is a type of cushion which has a hole on it.
To avoid constipation and bearing down during defecation, you should eat foods high in fiber.
When in the hospital, you may be given stronger pain medications and as well as stool softeners.
Doctors rarely resort to surgery to correct broken or dislocated tailbone.
It is also equally important to have regular follow up with regard the condition of your tailbone. Most people fail to visit their physician the next time around. This should be done so as to evaluate the progress of healing of a bruised or broken tailbone. Doctors also suggest that those patients who do not seem to respond well to the therapy should frequently submit themselves for a check up so as their condition can be well-managed.
Healing time
A bruised tailbone may just resolve right away. This may just resolve within a few days. The longest time for a tailbone to heal is between 7 to 10 days.

The Mysterious Lady: Poem
It is difficult to veer away from tailbone injuries since most of the tailbone bruises happen due to an accident. Nevertheless, there are protective gears that can be worn so as not to inflict too much injury on the tailbone. When for example, you are engaging in a contact sports, you may try to wear protective padding over the tailbone so as to protect it especially from possible falls.
However, there's nothing to worry about having a bruised tailbone because those who had previously suffered from it usually get better within a week. Nevertheless, the chance of recovery for a tailbone injury may also vary depending on the severity of the injury, treatment and compliance and the patient's potentials to recover. However, there are also those who do not respond well to a medical treatment and may suffer chronic tailbone discomfort which can really be debilitating.

I thought Chelsea won't sell Matic to Man United – Mourinho
Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, has admitted he thought it would be impossible to land Nemanja Matic from his former club, Chelsea.
Matic arrived this summer in a deal worth £40million.
Mourinho says when he first arrived at Old Trafford, he immediately saw that the team needed a player like the Serbian midfielder, but did not think the Blues would do business.
"I could see when I first came to United that we needed a Matic-type player," he said.
"But there are not many around and I do not like to go after players where it is an impossible mission. Then I heard that he wanted to join United and could make it happen.
"I am very happy to have him because he is one of those players with no question marks. He doesn't need time to adapt. He's not a young guy coming from another country. He's just turned 29 and he has five years' Premier League experience. He gives me something I really like which is consistency. He is a fantastic signing for us because I can trust him to perform at a high level."
