After an amazing experience from people to destination in Mongolia, China has proved to be quite a let down. We only really came here to try and see some of the countryside as well as of course the great wall and the terracotta army. Unfortunately, we were unable to see much of the countryside as we stayed in main cities. As for the tours to the above mentioned destinations, we ended up with hardly any time at these places as we had to visit a few other places on the same day. We were unaware that this was also part of the tours and felt that the places were awesome and we needed a lot more time to see them. When you book a full day tour you expect to spend a full day on the great wall and not go on detours. To make matters worse although the people were really nice, it is not easy having to constantly deal with both men and women spitting and clearing their noses on the streets so loudly every where you go. It really turned our stomaches especially when it happened in a restaurant! Had some very interesting food including a chicken served to us with its head still on! All in all we struggled with food and didn't have long enough in a week to enjoy what we really came here to see. Also, Hong Kong is awesome and wished we had more time here. No matter how this comes across we wouldn't look back on China as a bad experience, we still had loads of fun trying to get by.
