Reviews
Ms. Feng introduce us to the well known Llama temple, staging intricate knowledge of emperor who once ruled with knowledge, webbing religion and human existence, extenuating hard time conditions with mains and due course configurating, what could have resulted in wars between mongols and hans, helped stabilize peace, and created dramatic drifts from common faith to future beliefs true to a scripture dynasty.
Today, our team was led to the Yonghe Temple by Director Han from "Xiucai Shuo." He is very knowledgeable about the temple's history and is able to draw the group into the stories and secrets behind it. I would highly recommend people join Director Han's group.
冯老师 is really knowledgeable and engaging. Even though my command of Chinese language is not the strongest, it was still easy to follow and enjoy the tour. Thank you for the experience!
韩永利 from 秀才说 is my tour guide. He's responsible, experience, knowledgeable, friendly and patient. I strongly recommend him if you are looking for a tour guide. I enjoyed my trip!
Xiucai said that Tour Guide Li's presentation was excellent. The story was wonderful. The itinerary was fantastic.
Tour guide Feng's explanations were excellent. Highly recommend this itinerary. Thumbs up!
Guide was super enthusiatic and eventhough I don't know mandarin but I was captivated. It was raining and he offered his umbrella to me. Amazing! It would definitely be great to have his explanation translated to English 😄
Everywhere is crowded during the Spring Festival, so the travel experience isn't great. I recommend coming back during the off-season. However, the tour guide did their best to explain everything to us!
A good experience, leisurely travel, professional tour guide.
Director Feng's explanation was very detailed and complete.
