Saving Thanksgiving
Unlocked Menu for Laura's big family from the US
We had such a great time in Xi'an thanks to our tour guide, Windy, and all those at China Highlights. They even flew In a Thanksgiving turkey and had it cooked for us at a 5-start hotel because our American family was sad to be missing out on that this year. The director and his wonderful wife even hosted us at his home for Thanksgiving. They really went the extra mile!

Flying on Wheels
Unlocked Menu for Kailash and Runqi from the US
Spent 3 days cycling with Chris in Yangshuo. Fantastic experience. Chris knew all the best routes so that we did not have to worry about where to go, what to pack, etc. He gave us a behind the scene experience of Yangshuo without tourists, and great food from kitchens of people that grew their vegetables in the garden. We had fruits as we cycled along – oranges and strawberries – direct from the tree / shrub.
The cycles were in good condition we did about 300km over 3 days and Chris altered the plans based on our interests and desires. We even got local sweets … he is great, spoke great English, was very supportive and helped us avoid tourist traps all along :)

The Embrace of the Jungle
Unlocked Menu for David and Kassi from the US
The trip was an eye opening tour of Xishuangbanna and southern Yunnan. We learned a lot about the area, the people, and cultures that made up the southern tip of Yunnan, an area we wanted to explore. We loved hiking through the jungle, eating traditional dishes, and trying things such as eating banana tree stalk. Our hiking guide was fantastic! He was showing us the virtues of the banana tree and how you can survive off it in the jungle. As we hiked he would pick out certain plants, mushrooms, and fruits that were edible and we would try them as we moved along. Another part of the trip we loved was learning about the tea farms and the process of making tea. We loved making our own tea cakes and trying various vintages.

Little Princess's Birthday Cake
Unlocked Menu for Elizabeth from Estonia
Guilin, Yangshuo. Fantastic vacation! Well organized, including really nice surprise for the birthday child. Many thanks to @China Highlights and to our guide @Chasen!
Read His Story:
Elizabeth was about to have her fifth birthday during her family trip in Guilin. Our travel expert Lily noticed this during the trip planning, so she discussed with our team: how to give Elizabeth a special birthday surprise. No little girl can say no to Elsa! Ms. Chen, the director of our local office in Guilin asked the bakery to work overtime to make a Frozen-themed cake, and our driver Mr. Huang delivered it to our guide Chasen in Yangshuo. All the efforts were worth the happy smile of Elizabeth. Our customers' "little princess" enjoyed some of the most beautiful scenery on her trip while eating cake with her family.

Traumreise durch China
![]() Wir waren w?hrend unserer 14 t?gigen Rundreise in China restlos begeistert von Land, Leute, Kultur und Essen. Alle Autos waren sauber und gepflegt und neuere Modelle. Bei unseren stets pünktlichen Fahrern haben wir uns sicher und bestens gefühlt. St?ndig hat man uns Wasser angeboten, einfach toll. Unsere Reiseführer sprachen flie?end deutsch und hatten ein umfassendes Wissen bei den jeweiligen Ausflügen und haben den ganzen Tag dafür gesorgt, dass es uns an nichts fehlt. Besonders waren auch die extravaganten Ausflüge wie z.B.einen Terrakotta Krieger selber basteln und mit nach Hause nehmen, oder die Radltour auf der Stadtmauer von Xi'An. Ein dickes DANKE an: Xiabo Song (Peking), Ken (Xi'An), Axel (Chengdu), Beate (Shanghai) und Lukas (Guilin). Die ganze Reise hat auch Lukas zusammen gestellt. Wir durften sogar das Büro von China-Highlights mit etwa 100 Mitarbeitern besuchen. Lieber Lukas, vielen herzlichen Dank für die wundervolle Zeit in China und Deine pers?nliche überraschung zu unserem 10. Hochzeitstag N?chstes Jahr gehen wir wieder auf Reise, natürlich mit China-Highlights more

UN VIAJE DE MARAVILLAS
![]() Contratamos un tour con la Agencia China Highlights desde Argentina. Somos un matrimonio de 62 y 60 a?os de La Plata, Provincia de Buenos Aires. Queremos destacar que todo el itinerario proporcionado por LUCIA ha sido de maravillas. Recorrimos Beijing, Xian, Zhangjiajie, Shangai, Suzhou, Guilin, Yangshuo y luego fuimos a Hong Kong y Japón. En este caso, emitimos una opinión respecto de Guilin y el guía ALONSO. Destacamos todo su conocimiento del lugar y del perfecto espa?ol que habla. Esto ha hecho que nuestra estadía haya sido espectacular, desde la Cueva de la Flauta de Ca?a hasta el recorrido por Yangshuo. Nos hemos sentido respaldados y confiados en todo el lugar, como también es válido remarcar el excelente chofer que nos acompa?ó en todo el recorrido por Guilin y Yangshuo. GRACIAS por todo lo brindado, el servicio prestado ha sido EXCELENTE. Saludamos a ellos, SANDRA y PABLO. more

I was all cosy and snug asleep by 9pm with a fully belly courtesy of our hot pot chef Lucy. Now sitting outside while Chef Lee cooks a delicious breakfast. Yesterday was a unique and incredible experience. Lucy and Mr. Lee are THE BEST. They are great guides and I'll definitely be returning for more China Highlights tours.
