## **We love receiving feedback and images from customers, and on this unique occasion we have instead received a poem, China! - The Wendy Wu Way, by Mr King. It’s so fantastic that we thought it was best to be shared, a****nd maybe you will feel inspired to write something too.**

 

 

## We’ve gathered together our little group

## From various parts of the world

## To visit [China](https://www.wendywutours.com.au/china/) the Wendy Wu way

## As slowly the country unfurled

[![Passengers on Rickshaw Ride, Beijing China!](https://blog.wendywutours.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Carle-Betty-King-on-a-rickshaw-Beijing-1024x575-2.jpg?width=640&height=359&name=Carle-Betty-King-on-a-rickshaw-Beijing-1024x575-2.jpg)](https://blog.wendywutours.com.au/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Carle-Betty-King-on-a-rickshaw-Beijing-3.jpg) Mr & Mrs King, Rickshaw ride through Beijing

## Now who’s the one responsible

## For controlling this rag-tag team

## It’s charming Ruby our mother duck

## She’s the best! – if you know what I mean

 

## For if ever there is a problem

## She’s there to sort it all out

## If ever there is a question

## She’ll answer it - or else she’ll find out

[![Great Wall of China, Beijing China!](https://blog.wendywutours.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Beijing-Great-wall-looking-back-nearly-at-the-top-touch-up-Tim-1024x768-1.jpg?width=640&height=480&name=Beijing-Great-wall-looking-back-nearly-at-the-top-touch-up-Tim-1024x768-1.jpg)](https://blog.wendywutours.com.au/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Beijing-Great-wall-looking-back-nearly-at-the-top-touch-up-Tim-1.jpg) Great Wall of China, Beijing

## We first visited the [Great Wall of China](https://www.wendywutours.com.au/china/beijing/great-wall-of-china/)

## And heard how it all came to be

## This was followed by the Summer Palace

## Now open for everyone to see

## Next an overnight train to Xian

## For the [Terracotta Warriors ](https://www.wendywutours.com.au/china/xian/terracotta-warriors/)- naturally

## Thousands were smashed, some now repaired

## Put on show for just you and me

 

## We’ve seen Bell Towers, Drum Towers, Pagodas

## Temples and city lights as well

## Together with old parts of cities

## So far the trip has been swell

 

## The drivers and guides have done a first class job

## Of showing us and getting us about

## They’re all so proud of the job they do. . . . . . . .

## Presenting their country – of that there’s no doubt

## For we sailed along part of the [Yangtze](https://www.wendywutours.com.au/china/yangtze-river/)

## Greatest river that China can boast

## We’ve visited the Hydro, gone up the locks

## It’s a project this country can boast

 

## We departed the boat – our next highlight to have

## In [Chengdu ](https://www.wendywutours.com.au/china/chengdu/)for the Great Panda bears

## A national treasure of this fair land

## Fear of extinction raised great many fears

 

## The [Stone Forrest](https://www.wendywutours.com.au/china/kunming/stone-forest/) area of Kunming

## Was our next unusual – right?

## Millennia ago it was good ol’e sea bed

## Now weathered it’s a spectacular sight.

## It’s not easy being a tourist

## Though people might envy us so

## There’s a price to pay for our experiences

## Here’s a couple just to put them in the know

 

## There can be hours and hours cooped in coaches

## Gauging drinking with stops along the route

## Early morning rises – there’s traffic to beat

## Or planes to catch just to boot

 

## There are sellers who want you to buy things

## Whether you really want them or not

## They’re persistent after all it’s their existence

## As Government support is not of their lot

[![Li River in Guilin China!](https://blog.wendywutours.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Guilin-to-Yangshuo-on-Li-River2-Rebecca-Ryan-WOC-1024x683-1.jpg?width=640&height=427&name=Guilin-to-Yangshuo-on-Li-River2-Rebecca-Ryan-WOC-1024x683-1.jpg)](https://blog.wendywutours.com.au/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Guilin-to-Yangshuo-on-Li-River2-Rebecca-Ryan-WOC-1.jpg) Li River, Guilin

## There are many more things to contend with

## But you learn to take it in stride

## Just “go with the flow” - a common saying

## Is right as you travel far and wide

 

## An example of this was in [Guilin](https://www.wendywutours.com.au/china/guilin/)

## As we arrived to cruise down the Li

## The rains came down and the river rose

## And flooded our des-tin-y

 

## Hangzhou is the playground of Shanghainese

## Who love West Lake for its water and trees

## Suzhou is popular for its gardens supreme

## Have you seen them? There just the bees’ knees

[![Huangpu River at night, Shanghai, China!](https://blog.wendywutours.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/2012-07-28-Night-cruise-on-Huangpu-River-Day-15-Shanghai-Alan-WOC-4-1024x683-1.jpg?width=640&height=427&name=2012-07-28-Night-cruise-on-Huangpu-River-Day-15-Shanghai-Alan-WOC-4-1024x683-1.jpg)](https://blog.wendywutours.com.au/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/2012-07-28-Night-cruise-on-Huangpu-River-Day-15-Shanghai-Alan-WOC-4-1.jpg) Night Cruise along Huangpu River, Shanghai

## And now the last stop has finally arrived

## [Shanghai](https://www.wendywutours.com.au/china/shanghai/) – I’m afraid there’s no more

## This bustling, flourishing former “Paris of the East”

## Has ended an eye opening tour

 

## I’ve acknowledged most people in the verses just past

## But there’s one group I’ve left to the last

## And that’s you my fellow travellers

## I “thank you” – it’s been such a blast!
