Beauty of Beijing
Colin (our tour guide) and Xia (our driver) were excellent! Colin took us to the places where it is not as crowded, took us to ecellent restaurants. He is also very knowledgeable with the history. Xia made sure our drive is smooth and dropped us off as close as possible to the areas to limit walking. A great team! Will request for them in the future when we come back. God bless! more

Beijing March 2025 with Jiang
I had an incredible experience touring Beijing with our guide, Jiang! His deep knowledge of the city's culture and history truly enriched our visit. Jiang’s enthusiasm for sharing fascinating stories and insights made every stop memorable. What impressed me most was his willingness to adapt to changes throughout the tour. Whether it was adjusting our schedule or accommodating special requests, Jiang handled everything with a positive attitude and remarkable patience. He consistently went the extra mile to ensure we were not only having fun but also safe. His friendly demeanor made it easy to connect and enjoy our time together. Additionally, his restaurant recommendations were spot-on—each meal was a delicious adventure that showcased the best of local cuisine. If we return to Beijing in the future, we will definitely seek out Jiang again! more

Common Questions Travelers Ask Us
You can stay in an original tulou and experience the simple Hakka atmosphere and hospitality of the Hakka people. We have arranged an overnight stay in an original tulou during our 3-Day Essence of Xiamen and In-Depth Tulou Tour for you to enjoy the Hakka atmosphere. Spending one night in a tulou village is a good idea to avoid the tourist crowds. The villages are quiet and more authentic before the tourists arrive in the morning and after they leave in the afternoon.
Recommended hotels:
- Nanjing Qingdelou Inn (original tulou hotel)
- Tsingpu Tulou Retreat (boutique hotel in a restored tulou)
