    Thanks guys. What tour and any cultural significance? Inquiring minds want to know.

    I just finished mowing and edging, so will start Round #8 in a few minutes.

  • Sandman, It's a beautiful picture!


  • This was from a Best of China 2013 tour. Our first with Tauck and one of our favorites. Chengdu is the home of the Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. The Pandas were a motivation to chose this tour and they did not disappoint!

  • Super, thanks. Can I have your pet?

  • My wife tried to sneak him out in her tote bag and spent 6 months in a Chinese prison. Doubt she would give him up now!
