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.

Fantastic and tailor-made experience.
![]() Beyond that, our tour guide Chase put in every extra effort in order to accommodate us with any problems or questions we had. I had issues setting up Alipay and he spent probably over an hour of his personal time speaking with customer service to work it out for me. He was also very flexible with last minute trip variations, and gave us a decent array of options for activities to choose from. Overall a fantastic experience, thank you Chase! 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.
