Best time to travel
My husband & I are hoping to visit China in 2013. Since we're retired our timing is flexible. We were wondering if there were any advantages / disadvantages of traveling in the spring vs the fall...or eastbound vs westbound. We know Tauck will do a great job no matter which we choose, but if anyone has any time / direction guidance that would help our planning, we would appreciate it. Thanks.

I cannot speak for the Spring, but this September was very warm - definitely shorts weather. If you decide on the fall, try to avoid the departure dates that encompass October 1st, which is Chinese National Day. This is a holiday throughout the country, and there can be over a million people in Tian'an Men Square alone. No matter when you decide to go, it is the experience of a lifetime. There is a surprise everyday, and you'll walk away with a new perspective on a country and culture that have changed radically in a very short period of time.
when you arrive in China, you are high recommended to visit Beijing, Shanghai, Xian and Guilin, all of which will impress you couple a lot.
Good luck to your China travel.
For a retired couple, those cities might will be suitable destination.
It will make you both know better about history and culture of China as well as can enjoy stunning view and feel romantic atmosphere in Guilin or Hangzhou. Hope the best for you China trip!
