The itinerary time was well managed, and the tour guide Minglu was serious and responsible. He was willing to turn back even if a group member forgot something in a coffee shop. It was just because the journey was long and we spent a lot of time in the car, but we would stop at rest stops along the way to let us rest! High CP value travel
