Outstanding trip, but quite a bit of walking for us old folks, especially Tiananmen Square. The ship was beautiful, but the Yangtze was pretty dirty. We live on the Mississippi and it's clean by comparison. Though we didn't have any breathing problems, the air was pretty hazy at times which resulted in many poor quality pictures. The food on board and in the hotels were outstanding, but left a bit to be desired at the other places on out itinerary. Tofu seemed to be served everywhere and very little meat. Now that we have the far east out of the way, we probably wont be back to that part of the country, but have booked another river cruise with Viking in Europe.
The room were spacious and comfortable. The balcony was nice to enjoy a morning coffee on. The views were pretty hazy most of the time, but could see enough of the countryside to see how the "other' folks lived.
