5.00Able to see the Yellow River from up close. Unfortunately, the hovercraft company went bankrupt during the pandemic and we were not able to sail on the river, which is 50% sand and mud. Shaolin Temple was a fun visit with Kung Fu exhibition from the students. Guide Gavin was fantastic, probably the best guide we have had in all our tours in the last decades. Very knowledgeable about historical information.
