Our Chinese tour guide also spoke fluent German believe it or not. But the funniest thing was how he spoke English, ya? He ended everything sentence with some sort of sound, eh? And he made some bad jokes, yeh? ]]>

over the last few weeks ive had alot to thank youtube for, i was headhunted by a truely kick ass band of hugely talented musicians who had seen my videos on here. they wanted me to take over lead guitar dutys, so i moved 400 miles away to glasgow with just my guitar and some clothes to join this band. now 2 weeks later we have a chinese tour planned this april, playing infront of huge crowds. and its all thanks to youtube! The band is called ninetysix4 anyway, his some improv stuff for everyone out there who built my confidence with kind comments and subscriptions to my channel! Its made all the difference Rock On ]]>
7th job out of 10 on the tour – the 29th of march 2009. We played D-22 in Beijing together with “Sleepy Heart” and “Overdose”. After deposing our gear at the nearby youth-hostel we returned for a jam, together with some of the folks left from the bands, and Liu liu of Demerit. Filmed by Mulle. ]]>

Our most popular China tour for a first time visit is our 9-day Great Wall & Warrior tour. Starting in the capital Beijing you can explore Tiananmen Square, the largest public square in the world, which plays host to Chairman Mao’s great mausoleum. Staring out across Tiananmen from above the Gate of Heavenly Peace is the famous Technicolour portrait of Mao. It is through these gates that one can enter the Forbidden City. Built between 1406 and 1420, it served as the imperial palace for the Ming and Qing dynasties and is said to contain 9999 rooms. No visit on a China tour to Beijing is complete without a drive to the Great Wall of China! Snaking some 6700 kms across barren hills, deserts, mountains and plateaus, the now partially ruinous Great Wall stretches east to west in northern China and is believed to be the longest man made structure in the world. Today, people from all over the world visit to walk on the Great Wall of China, stand on a watchtower and view the wall, winding as far as the eye can see, over the horizon. The Badaling section is perhaps the best preserved and most frequently visited by tourists.
After Beijing it’s onwards towards Xi’an to visit the famous Terracotta Warriors. These were the discovery of Emperor Qin’s army of 2,200 year old terracotta warriors in 1974 by local farmers who happened to be digging a well. More than 7,000 life-sized warriors stand in military formation in excavated pits under the cover of a modern protective hanger, a must-see on any China tour! Finish off in Shanghai, perhaps China’s most modern city. Take a cruise along the Huangpu River and visit the stunning Jade Budha Temple. This excellent well-rounded tour of China has monthly departures from March through to November and is the perfect choice for a first time visit!

Congregation Darchei Noam sponsors Shi Lei of the historic Jewish community of Kaifeng, China on his speaking tour of North America. Cut off from the Jewish world for hundreds of years until it was discovered by a Jesuit priest in 1605 CE, the Kaifeng community remained intact until the 19th century when it disappeared from the Jewish map. Today, this ancient Jewish community is undergoing a remarkable resurgence. Shi Lei is a descendant of one of the original Jewish families, believed to have settled in Kaifeng between 960 and 1127 CE. In this video, Doris Epstein from MENSCHlife interviews Shi Lei at Darchei Noam Synagogue in Toronto.
