Breathtaking scenery of Guilin & Yangshuo with William Wei & Mr Tsao : 5-7 April
We arrived in Guilin late evening after travelling all day, we were tired and irritable. Oh so comforting then to have a guide like Mr William Wei, who immediately picked up on our fatigued state, and gently suggested a change to our itinerary to ensure that we got sufficient rest time, but still cover everything on the itinerary. more

Meravigliosa Cina del Sud
La nostra guida, Laura (Lulu) è stata fantastica per tutto il viaggio. Parla perfettamente italiano, ci ha spiegato molte cose riguardo la geografia e la storia dei lunghi che abbiamo visitato, ma anche le abitudini delle minoranze. Le risaie è il villaggio a Longji è stata un'esperienza indimenticabile. Così come la crociera sul fiume Li. è una Cina completamente diversa da quella a cui siamo abituati ad immaginare e la parte rurale è veramente un tesoro da scoprire. Siamo stati spesso gli unici "occidentali" e abbiamo goduto di paesaggi stupendi e dell'accoglienza locale (incredibile il pranzo nel villaggio delle risaie di Longji). China Highlights (Viaggio in Cina per gli Italiani) ha veramente organizzato un tour molto bello per noi. La nostra guida Laura ha reso tutto perfetto! more
