Greetings!

Yangtze River Cruise trip |
This is a hectic season for schools and parents as many activities reach a peak. Also, Louie is busy as many of you begin vacation season and summer heritage trips. In a short time, we will pause to celebrate Dragon Boat Festival on June 6th by eating "ZongZi", sticky rice dumplings -- something we always like to do! In this issue we share an overview article about train travel. It is a topic about which clients have many questions typically. Also, I share in an interview some of my thoughts on train travel. This includes one of my most memorable train experiences-- one which we make sure our clients don't have:)! You can click Lea to read. Regardless of your summer plans and whether those take you to Asia this year or elsewhere, we wish you safe and wonderful travels. Best regards, Lea Xu Vice President |

 "Although this photo shows me holding a red panda at the Chengdu Panda Reserve, I am excited to announce this new tour that allows families to volunteer with giant pandas at the Bifengxia Panda Reserve. It's a first for Lotus Travel and is a new opportunity for our families. Volunteers will assist in preparing food, cleaning cages for pandas and more.
