Hi
I had a short trip to Beijing and Shanghai with the wife.
This was our first guided tour ever. And the first visit to China.
If we ever get back there we would do it on our own. But that doesn't mean we were disappointed, quite the opposite. We had a great time.
The tour was well organized but stressful. Doing this program by ourselves would have taken at least twice the time. But I could have taken my time for the photos instead of watching out where the tour group has gone.
The arrival at Shoudu Guoji Jichang International Airport
Immigration was thorough but quick with inspection of the passport. After passing we could evaluate the service of the immigration officer by pressing one of four buttons from very good to very bad. I don't know if the officer can see the vote but she smiled brightly after we had pressed very good. Photos were not allowed in that area.
The chinese seem fond of flowers and grenery. They have put plants wherever possible in every place we have seen.
The carpark of the airport is quite futuristic.
