I think the being there was harder - the pollution, the language barrier, the differences in personal space, and my perception of the attitude of most of the people. We typically don't like being herded on a group tour but in this case maybe it might have improved our experience.

Was it hard to organize hotels or transportation by yourselves? We had a wonderful time and visited lots of places and took overnight trips on both trains and boats but we did have an organizer set up our tickets in advance since I wasn't sure how easy it was to wing it in China.
