Lanzhou

Driver followed our planned itinerary and brought us to clean rest stops throughout the trip. However, the journey was extremely tiring with long driving hours every day. The driver appeared to be unwell and was coughing throughout the trip, which affected the overall experience. We were also dropped at the wrong hotel on the last day and had to contact the driver to return and pick us up. Overall, the trip was completed as planned but the experience could have been better organised.

This was a small group tour using an SUV. The driver picked me up from my hotel and dropped me off at the hotel after the tour. The kind driver drove carefully and even helped with taking photos during the tour. The itinerary was well-planned, and I saw and experienced a lot. It was even more helpful that my travel companion assisted with communication in English. I'd like to thank them as well. The travel agency also managed the tour schedule kindly and appropriately. Thank you again for providing such a wonderful trip.

We had a perfect day with a super friendly and competent driver and tour guide (Master Wang).

We were so lucky to have Mr. Zhang as our driver for this Hexi Corridor trip! First, I have to commend his driving skills. He drove incredibly smoothly the entire way, whether on highways or challenging roads, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. He was also incredibly patient and attentive, not only explaining the history and culture of the places we passed, which made the scenery outside the window come alive, but more importantly, he flexibly adjusted our itinerary based on our time and energy levels. This ensured we visited all the highlights without feeling overly tired. We saw the vibrant colors of the Rainbow Mountains (Qicai Danxia) and experienced the profound history of ancient ruins. The entire trip was relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. I highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip to the Northwest! Mr. Zhang, you definitely deserve a bonus!

The front desk and room managers were very welcoming and accommodating, helping us switch to a non-smoking room when we requested it. The room was quiet and comfortable, and the bed was very good for sleeping. The restaurant was decent, and the menu changed daily. The only minor drawback, in my opinion, was that the swimming pool was too crowded, making it impossible to swim and relax.

The hotel restaurant is on the 52nd floor and offers stunning city views. Louis, who checked us in at the front desk, was very friendly and kind, making our stay much more pleasant. The room was quiet and clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The only downside was that the pool was under renovation, so we missed the chance to experience it.
