Today, our China coordinator emailed us our confirmed hotel/transportation/sightseeing information from China Women Travel Service (CWTS).
CWTS have worked with our adoption agency for a long time. They have good relations with hotels in China. They also provide local guides and drivers for BAAS families. They will take any other travel requests from BAAS families as well.
In Wuhan, we will be staying at the Mayflower Hotel (Best Western Premier). (http://www.bwmayflowers.com.cn/english/eindex.html) In Guangzhou, we requested to stay at Garden Hotel since we heard it is a nice hotel. (http://www2.thegardenhotel.com.cn/index.php) Fortunately, CWTS is able to book us a room there.
CWTS also have made local sightseeing activities for us. In Guangzhou, one of the local sightseeing is the zoo! Wow, when was the last time I visited a zoo? More than 15 years? I am sure our son will enjoy seeing the animals. Another local sightseeing place in Guangzhou is called Pedestrian Street. I asked my husband, ‘what is a Pedestrian Street?’ So I Googled it and it turns out to be one of Guangzhou’s famous shopping area! YES! Shopping!
We also requested to have CWTS book our transportation to Hong Kong from Guangzhou. After we pick up our son’s visa on Dec 10, we leave Guangzhou at 6:20pm via train. The train ride from Guangzhou to Hong Kong is about 2 hrs. Now we just have to figure out how to get to Hong Kong Disney when we arrive at the Hong Kong train station. I saw a picture of the Hong Kong Disney hotel. It actually looks like the Grand Floridian hotel at Orlando Disney World.
