Thank you, Marcie. That was the way we understood it. Stan and I are taking the Chendu trip since we have done the Beijing trip a couple of times. I agree that Xian is essential along with the Great Wall and the Summer Palace. I, personally, found that the Forbidden City was so denuded of everything meaningful that missing it is not a tragedy. To see it does satisfy a curiosity as to the hugeness of it but all art works and furniture are gone.
