Our honeymoon in China ? romantic, magical, and perfectly organized

My wife grew up in Beijing but had never seen China through a tourist's eyes before. Choosing the 16 Days China Highlights tour for our honeymoon let her rediscover her homeland and let me see it for the first time simultaneously. Our guide David seemed to understand this perfectly and kept finding moments for us ? a private rooftop sunset view of the Forbidden City from Jingshan Park, a table by the window at a restaurant in Yangshuo with the karst peaks lit up at night, arranging a paper-cutting workshop with a local artist as a surprise on our anniversary evening in Xi'an. The Li River section was outrageously beautiful. My photos of the karst peaks reflected in the still water of the river in the early morning look like paintings. I'm sharing a few here ? absolutely untouched, shot on a phone.
