We were there 5 years ago for 3 weeks with the American Aviators tour. Loved the people and the food, didn't care for the smog. We had a national guide and a city guide with us in every destination so there was always support and a translator nearby. We saw several of the Flying Tiger bases and museums and had the opportunity to see their national air museum outside of Bejing.

With our group vegetarian choices were always available and the food was good. I never picked out lunch from a street vendor though, and was advised that if we did, we should make sure everything is thoroughly cooked so to avoid raw fruit and vegetables.

We did not use our cel phones while there at all and communicated with home by daily email.

It was a great experience with a very rich history and culture, enjoy!
