Zhangzhou

I was quite excited for my first visit to a World Heritage Site on June 17th. Our tour guide that day was A-Jian. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate, and it rained all day. Despite this, our guide was very patient, picking up and dropping off every traveler, and meticulously explained the history with a touch of humor, which kept the trip from feeling dull.

An amazing experience visiting Tianluokeng! The scenery was breathtaking, and the traditional Hakka tulou buildings were truly fascinating to see in person. The surrounding mountains and beautiful countryside made the whole visit even more special. A wonderful place to experience the history, culture and architecture of Fujian. Definitely worth visiting and highly recommended!

Thank you to driver Xiao Zhang for picking us up and dropping us off on time. It was amazing to see the Tulou buildings come to life from our textbooks; there are over 30,000 of them here! Yunshuiyao was beautiful, and thanks to Xiao Zhang for helping us take photos 🤳. Highly recommend 👍👍👍

I booked this tour without realizing it was a local Chinese tour, but it was still a lot of fun. I'm Korean, and the staff took great care of me from the beginning to the end of the itinerary. I had an issue with the WeChat app, so we communicated via email, and they provided convenient pickup and drop-off near my hotel, which made traveling much easier. In fact, because it was a local tour, I got to experience a more authentic and natural side of the area. Of course, I couldn't understand most of the explanations since they were in Chinese, but the visual experience was much more enjoyable. And using a translation app made it manageable, so it wasn't too difficult to travel. Thank you for taking such good care of me!

An amazing private tour since it was just the two of us, we could move comfortably at our own pace. The itinerary (8:00 AM – 6:00 PM) was well-paced, and we visited different types of tulou at 2 stunning locations: Tianluokeng ("4 dishes 1 soup") & Yunshuiyao. Our driver, Mr. Chou, was fantastic & patient—he knows the region so well and explained many details to us along the way. Although tired, we enjoyed ourselves to the max! Strongly recommend this UNESCO tour and strongly recommend Mr. Chou as your driver. Also take note to make yourself comfy in the car because the ride takes about 2hrs one-way. Wear comfy shoes since there will be cobbled stones.

Although we stayed at a hotel that was a bit difficult to find, we had communicated via WeChat beforehand, so they picked us up right on time in front of the hotel. The guide only spoke Chinese, but we were able to communicate perfectly using written messages on a smartphone. It was a tour we could participate in with peace of mind and enjoyment. Since there were only two of us on the tour, we essentially got to enjoy it as a private charter. The guide was also very kind, and we had a stress-free experience throughout.

If you're interested in history, this is a must-visit destination. The place offers a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, making it perfect for exploring and appreciating its rich heritage. The beautiful views add to the charm and create a relaxing experience. Don't miss the chance to try the local food, which is both delicious and authentic. Whether you're visiting for the history, the scenery, or the cuisine, this destination is well worth the trip and leaves you with wonderful memories.

They contacted us the day before to explain the tour and let us know the departure date and time, which helped us prepare accordingly. They arrived 10 minutes early, contacted us so we could leave right away, explained the itinerary, and shared a lot of useful information along the way about Xiamen and the Tulou using a translator. Upon arrival, they took pictures for us and even recommended a great restaurant and dishes when we were unsure of where to eat, making for a delicious lunch. They parked close to each tourist spot, which was very convenient, and provided a very comfortable ride throughout the trip, making it truly enjoyable. With plenty of time compared to large groups and the convenience of traveling in a private vehicle, I highly recommend this.

I was worried because there weren't many Korean reviews, but it turned out to be a great trip! I highly recommend it to anyone who loves taking photos or wants to see a lot in a short amount of time! I'm extremely satisfied 🙆🏻‍♀️ I went with Mr. Pan as our guide, and he was so cheerful and friendly with everyone at every tourist spot, which made the trip very enjoyable, haha. The itinerary was Longchanglou (not famous, but a Tulou hotel where you can go up to the upper floors of the Tulou) -> Zhenlageng Tulou Cluster (just for quick photos) -> Yuchanglou (interior tour) -> Taxia Village (a quick photo op, but we skipped it because it was hot and we thought it was similar to Yunshuiyao) -> Yunshuiyao (we walked to Hekenglou by ourselves without the guide) -> Hekenglou sightseeing -> return to accommodation. The translator app worked so well for communication that I think you can go without much worry!
