Tony and his wife of over forty-five years divide their time between the beaches of Florida and the mountains of Colorado. They both ski and bike in Colorado and laze on the beaches while in Florida.
Tony traveled to China and Tibet in 2009. While there he kept a daily diary and took many pictures. Also, his travel agent, China Highlights, sent him invaluable information. This, Tony's fifth book, is the culmination of that diary, those pictures, and the China Highlight information.

Book Details
I contacted China Highlights, a Chinese travel agency that I had found on the Internet at:
------------------------ http://www.chinahighlights.com
They had the itinerary I sought. Of course Beijing was on my list. I’d heard about the Terracotta Warriors in Xian. The sheer size of this excavation and what has been found is staggering and not to be missed. I had also recently heard about a modern engineering miracle, a train which protects the fragile high alpine environment as it hurtles at over sixty miles an hour toward Tibet through the Himalayas.
Tibet? The Himalayas? A high-speed train? Added to this, Giant Pandas and some of the tallest buildings in the World. All of these in one grand tour?
Sounded great!
China is an old culture. A proud culture as it should be. From this writer’s perspective, an exotic culture. Thus my adventure to China.
