Superb! I am deeply grateful for what the Summer Tour has provided for the girls. They will take away wonderful memories, a deeper pride in their heritage, and a greater sense of whom they are. We appreciate the financial help as well for we could never all done this on our own.

Each family makes and pays for their own travel arrangements to and from China.
We were fortunate to have been part of the first Heritage Tour group in 2004. We were very impressed. Thanks to Jim Wang for his vision, leadership and commitment, as well as to our hosts from the China Overseas Exchange Association who were gracious, friendly and informative. They worked very hard to ensure that we enjoyed ourselves and that our trip was a success. We honestly felt we were treated more as honored guests than as tourists.
