Yes you should visit http://www.ChinaArtTours.com. If you want to visit the most scenic spots including many lovely villages you should come with our art group on our trip to China.
We will be visiting Zhouzhaung, a lovely little village that is like a mini venice. It is filled with little canals and bridges. We are
also going to the lovely Crown Cave village where we will stay in a lovely country inn nestled in the rice fields along the Li River. There
we will explore the park and fantastic Crown caves which are still rarely seen by western visitors. We are also going to stay in Yangshuoa along
the river and from there will take the boat and will visit a few other little villages like Xingping which is renowned with artists. Here we will
be accompanied by a local self-trained traditional Chinese artist and calligrapher. We will
also venture along the Jade Dragon River out to Moon Cave village where we will lunch with some local peasants. We will spend a few days also exploring the lovely gardens of Suzhou
and Guilin and will ofcourse go to see the Great Wall but will also take in a traditional Chinese opera while we are there. On the tour we will be
accompanied by a renowned Chinese watercolor artist and a sculptor who has recently published his life story. It is going to be a very exciting
trip. The deadline for booking the trip this October is next week so please contact me as soon as possible if you are interested in this
very interesting trip to one of the most remarkable culturally and scenically rich countries in the world.
If you go to the website you will be able to look through the photoalbum with pictures of many of these lovely villages.
