The document summarizes a family's trip to China. They went on various tours where they saw interesting sights and found learning Chinese made communicating easier. They visited relatives in Beijing and saw landmarks like the CCTV tower, Bird's Nest, Summer Palace, and Great Wall. In Xi'an they saw ancient architecture and the Terracotta Army. They went river rafting in Guilin and saw caves with unique rock formations. In Shanghai they visited the Oriental Pearl Tower and family in Hong Kong where they saw Victoria Harbor. Communicating in Chinese helped when shopping and negotiating prices.
