We had a very good choice of food.
Beer very good. Wine ghastly.
Excellent company we laughed a lot.

Memorable parts?
The minority villages as not many westerners get to see this part of China. They welcome you into their houses and although they have very little they gave us some oranges.
We also visited a primary school which was great fun as we taught the children hopscotch and a few words of English.
Tips?
You will have a wonderful time. You have to be prepared to rough it a bit but its well worth it.
A fascinating journey.

All of the holiday was fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the train journey from Beijing to Lhasa. The visit to the nunnery was fun. There was nothing on my trip that I didn't enjoy so it's hard to choose 1 thing I enjoyed most. (more)Jules Palmer
Excellent....Go with an open mind, an attitude of adventure. It is a different country. You will not find the same facilities as at home. The food is different. But it's all part of the adventure. (more)Yoginee Patel
