Last summer my mom and best friend Eva came to visit China. We embarked on a whirlwind tour of the must-see hot spots in 5 different cities. They were true traveling champions in the way they put up with all the trains, flights, hotels, taxis, guides, weather, and all the wonderful surprises China can offer. Rather than give a detailed rundown I'll just let the photos do the explaining...
