Our family is returning to China to visit each child's home cities and visit important sites of China: Beijing,Hu County, Xian, Chendu,Guilin and Yangshuo. We will visit the children's home cities of Harbin and Zhuzhou with just our family and a guide. We will visit Harbin, Ben's home city first, back to Beijing to do the 8 family group tour and then to Hannah's home city and Guangzhou (final destination of each original trip to complete the adoptions.)
