5.00This tour was fantastic! Both the guide and the driver were really enthusiastic and it was a fun day! Everything went according to plan and the information was great both before and during the trip. I highly recommend doing this tour. Absolutely worth it since you get so much out of it and it's too difficult to try going at it on your own especially if you are a non Chinese person.
It’s my favourite place & tour in all china trips

5.00The beauty of this place is wonderful & magical. Although I went to many famous places in China here is my favourite. It’s peaceful and not many tourists compete for spots for photos. The guide also took care of us very well. Local food was also yummy especially roasted potatoes. Not only a good place for photography but also sacred place for my spiritual journey. There is 1000 years old tree that we can go to hug and talk to. I really recommend this private tour. 😀
