Our China Experience
by Bill & Virginia Lee




Virginia & Bill Lee are lifelong residents of the St. Louis metro area currently living in Florissant.  Caucasians, both have always been fascinated with Chinese art and culture.  When offered the opportunity to cruise the Yangtze with Virginia's cousins, they canceled previous travel plans without hesitation.  The result was an adventure they has never dreamed possible...
