In June, we found a travel company on the internet that offered tours of China. After some phone calls and emails, we soon had a group of 15 people on the tour. 10 from Atlanta, 3 from San Francisco, and 2 from Virginia. Among our group there were 8 square dancers and 1 caller. We square danced in the Summer Palace, the Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square, possibly being the first people to do so.

Here are some of our pictures, organized by location and in chronological order.
