This trip was very good. Both places were beautiful. The driver was skillful, careful, and very good company. It was a long day but we saw two spectacular and different landscapes that showcase the diversity of China

We were incredibly fortunate to have Master Cai as our driver for the entire Hexi Corridor trip. He was professional and reliable, driving smoothly and safely, and was very familiar with the road conditions and details of all the attractions. He has a deep understanding of the history and culture along the Dunhuang and Qilian routes, and could eloquently describe the local customs and traditions along the way. He proactively shared many practical local tips, helping us avoid potential pitfalls. He flexibly adjusted the pace of the itinerary based on our preferences, never rushing us, and managed our time perfectly. He is easygoing and meticulous, taking excellent care of us throughout the journey. His driving was steady, making the entire experience exceptional. Our youngest traveler rated him 200 out of 100!

Great 4.0
amazing views and itinerary. hotels planned were good too. guide (曹师傅)was caring and ensured that we were taken cared of, he had to drive very far between places because this itinerary covers a lot in 5 days. would recommend this tour for those who want to cover the silk road with a personal guide!

our 6-day luxury tour is really a memorable one. 5-star accomodations, convenient locations, excellent hospitality and wonderful experience. Throughout the 6 days, we had a private driver, also our trip manager Ms. Fei-er, a capable lady who is knowledable, professional and understanding. She planned everthing well that made this route which supposed to be tiring, became more relaxing and enjoyable. Although the package did not cover most of the meals (except for the standard hotel breakfast), she made nice recommendations on food as well. cheap price, local taste, delicious food.

Thank you for arranging this trip. We especially appreciate our driver, Master Zhang, who clearly communicated important information each day, such as departure times and what to be aware of at each attraction. He also provided excellent recommendations for dinner, allowing us to enjoy several wonderful restaurants. We were very satisfied with the meals. Overall, our entire family was very pleased with this trip. Thank you to your concierge team and Master Zhang!

Great 4.0
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.

Fantastic 5.0
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.
