Dream Trip to China

5.00Joyce Tang and TCT customized my dream trip for me. I am a great fan of Chinese entertainment- from the captivating dramas to wonderfully performed historical pieces. My journey began in Hangzhou where I met my guide Dana and experienced West Lake and the Riverside filled with both past and present cultural activities. I then proceeded to Hengdian Studios which was the site of many of my favorite tv series were filmed. Knowing that I was walking where they filmed made me starstruck! Dana is such a great friend that she even gave me an update on my favorite actor Xiao Zhan who filmed at Hengdian. Then I met up with Esther at Zhangjiajie. Wow! What an experience to walk, climb, zip line, slide, traverse those mountains, Heaven’s Gate, Avatar, the sky bridge, etc.. Each day was better than the last! Esther, you rock! Lastly I met with Allen who opened up the city of Chongqing to me. He let me see the secret areas where I experienced the highlights of the city up close and personal. The best thing about this trip was how Joyce planned every aspect of it. She ensured not only my enjoyment but my safety. I am 68 years old traveling alone thru China speaking very little Chinese - even my fellow train passengers were impressed. I love China and will be back many more times during my lifetime. Joyce and TCT definitely are my go to for future trips. Thank you Joyce and TCT!

5.00Top China Travel Travel Consultant, Tracy Su create a memorable 13 days trip for my family that begins from Shanghai to Suzhou to Hangzhou to Taizhou and back to Shanghai. We manage to visit all the places we hope to see in this tour. In Shanghai, we covered Shanghai Tower, The Bund, Pearl Tower, Yuyuan Garden, Huangpu Night River Cruise, Jade Buddha, Zhujiajiao Water Town and even the Era acrobatics. In Suzhou, we covered Panmen Gate, Tiger Hill, Hanshan Temple, Lion Grove Garden and Tongli Water Town. In Hangzhou, we covered the West Lake on a cruise, Peak Flown from Afar, Lingyin Temple, Meijiawu Tea Village, Hefang Street and watch the Impression Westlake show. In Taizhou, we covered the Linhai Great Wall, Ziyang Old Street, Linghu Park and East Lake. We even got to ride the Bullet train on business class. She did a remarkable job in the arrangement for our family to see all these places in the short time we have without us feeling being shortchanged and hurried in any time. I will definitely recommend that you plan your trip with TCT consultant to assist you to have the best time without the hassle of thinking how to do it your selves. Mine is a private tour without any 'forced' visit to factories. I have use Tracy on all my trip to China. Thank you Tracy Su for wonderful Chinese experience.

5.0014 Day / Shanghai Suzhou Huangshan Hangzhou and Xian From the moment we contacted TCT our plans for a visit became an instant realty. Lily skillfully booked our preferred hotels, organized the sightseeing trips, the flight and train rides. All we had to do was to sit back, relax and follow the itinerary. Since the time of our first arrival, being met at the airport, we felt so well taken care of...attentive guides and courteous drivers ( in constant communication with TCT ). We are so looking forward to our next trip with TopChinaTravel ! A couple visiting from Canada
