Dear Reina,
My wife, Doug, and I have just returned from our Beijing-Xian-Shanghai trip and want to thank you and your Beijing and extended suppliers throughout China for the wonderful one week we spent in China and the most dedicated and professional service we received from our guides in Beijing (Alan), Xi'an (Jerry) and Shanghai (Bob) and their respective drivers. I make these comments as a marketing research professional whose practice includes customer service quality fulfillment evaluation. Of particular importance is that all of our arrangements were made with Tour-beijing.com via E-Mail and everything was actually delivered as promised and more.
Best personal regards, Doug Cirruzzo

If you are an anthomania, then Shanghai Botancial Garden is your must.
As the premier garden, Shanghai Botanical Garden is opened to public in 1978 after 4 year¡¯s construction and landscaping. Since its set up, the garden has received 10,000,000 tourists. In 1996 it is reviewed as the one of the favorite outing destination and in 2000 it is awarded the best place on Children¡¯s Day in the new century.
The ground, covering 81 hectares (200 acres), are divided into spacious sectors specializing in magnolias, peonies, maples, azaleas, roses, osmanthus, ferns, bamboo and conifers. The Orchid Garden is regarded as the best in China. There is also a medical plant garden with an area of 20,000 square meters. The total of herbal medicine is up to 600. Its hallmark sections are Penjing Yuan (Bonsai Garden) and the Exhibition Greenhouse.
Penjing Yuan, in the Northwest of the garden, covers an area of 41,000 square meters with hundreds of bonsai displayed in a large complex of corridors, courtyards, pools and rockeries. There is also an ¡°Rock Penjing¡± displayed, in which rocks are carved and glued together to form miniature mountains that are placed in trays of water. It is appreciated as the Chinese Largest Potted Landscaped Park.
The Exhibition Greenhouse is a newly developed modern botanical greenhouse. It is composed of two small greenhouses, one for tropical plants and the other for sand plants. The former one features the flowers of all season and tropical rain forests, producing a vivid tropical view with flowers competing for beauty, the latter, vividly displaying the views of tropical plains, which is set off by deserts, camels and the setting sun. Tourists will feel they are walking in the mystery desert. To visit the Exhibition Greenhouse, you can not only experience the beautiful views but also acquire knowledge about relevant plants.
