Yangjiang City is located 447 kilometers from Guangzhou.It has a population of 2.5 million.The city is divided in two by the river Moyanggjiang.

Lingxiao Rock:  with its majestic rocks and imposing manner, is reputed to be the most magnificent in all of South China. As a national geological park and base for science education, the scenic spot is a famous attraction characterized by superb karst landform. It is located to the northwest of Yangchun City, about 66 kilometers (41 miles) from proper district.

The scenic spot has numerous caves scattered in a magnificent three-storey cave that is over 120 meters (394 feet) high. The bottom floor is grand and spacious with a limpid stream winding its way inside for about 320 meters (1,050 feet), and even provides boating in the cave. The middle and the upper floors are a fairyland of various stalactites, stalagmites and stone pillars. They take the shape of fairies, lions, and inverted lotuses, encouraging you to linger and appreciate their form. Some of them are rare in China. There are nineteen spectacular stalactites, which are as grand as buildings, and forty grand stone pillars resembling a large lotus. Inside the cave, you will feel that you have entered a sublime palace.
The karst landform in the Lingxiao Rock is a typical representative of its kind in South China. The karst sight here is well-preserved and has a wide variety of geologic formations. In the cave, the stalactites will grow continuously if there are drops of water. Regardless, they grow at a rather slow speed, about 1 to 20 centimeters (0.39 to 7.87 inches) per century. We can only image how long the cave has existed!

Depending on the size of the SWI and how often visitors return, a visit could can be a highly anticipated event by the staff, or a routine, minor inconvenience to the day to day running of the institution.

You will want to discuss this aspect of reality with your child and prepare her or him for what it might be like, based on what you know. It is good to talk to your child about what to expect and then what to do if things turn out differently than you expect. It is important to develop an attitude of flexibility and focus on enjoying the experience rather than to get set on things going a certain way, since things don’t always go exactly as planned on any trip or daily life experience. A small gift is always appropriate for the effort expended by the director and or staff to accommodate the visiting family.

Since it may be several years after an adoption, it’s not unusual that the orphanage moved to a new place. Remember it’s normal, natural, time will not stand still, just as your children changed dramatically from she/he was a baby when just there.

If you are interested in visit both of the orphanages, we are happy to facilitate it, you can follow the previous footprint to recall your excitement when you look at your children at first time.

We usually arrange visiting the finding site for families if have the Notarial Certificate of the finding place. The finding site usually is at the front of hospital/orphanage/government agencies, etc. Please note that there places may be changed also.

Since visiting the finding site is the most emotional part of the trip, it’s a personal decision for each family and only you can make the decision if you want to accomplish it.

We always arrange the meeting with the previous caregiver/ foster family. If you have the information of the previous caregiver, we will try our best to find her. Please do remember that it’ll be some years after your adoption, the caregiver may be moved away or be retired. If the caregiver is still working in the orphanage, the director will happy to facilitate the connection.

Also please note that the caregiver may take care of more than one hundred babies in the orphanage, so that she may not remember your child well.

If your family is interested or inclined to invite the orphanage director to lunch, it is proper to invite others in the meeting as well. This would usually be one or two of the directors' assistants. If you want to invite the caregiver or nanny, then you should extend that invitation through the director to show the proper respect that the position merits. Your guide will handle this for you, but inviting the staff through the director follows proper etiquette for the situation. Some of the orphanages offer the free lunch while the others request about USD90-USD150 for the extra charge. You may ask our trip consultant before you travel.

When visiting an orphanage, it is appropriate to prepare some gifts for the director/staff and the children. You can invite the director, the staff or the caregiver to have lunch together or prepare fruit basket for them, for their effort expended to accommodate the visiting family.

As for the gifts to kids, you can prepare some snacks, candy, books, school backpacks, toys and so on. Usually, you can buy them when arrival at the orphanage place, the guide can escort you.

If you want to donate something more valuable and not sure what is needed for the orphanage, you can first learn it from the director and then purchase them from the local market. Some SWI will issue a donation certificate to you but not every SWI will do this.
