We also walk the Great Wall, cruise the Yangtze and Li Rivers, tour Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, witness the Terra Cotta Warriors, hike the Himalayan Mountains and much, much more. China is an exciting, rapidly changing country with much to offer; it is at times delightful, at times frustrating, and always paradoxical and enigmatic. It is in any event, a country and a people worth experiencing. We are thrilled we did.

Visiting these war sites brings home the breadth and brutality of this "war between brothers".
