The overall itinerary was smooth, and the tour guide Liu Sang had a good rhythm. Because there are no attractions that can be reached by tram or subway, for tourists, such a package tour is very easy and convenient, and it is worth experiencing, but the food and scenery are ordinary.

The tour guide Xiao Guo was very nice and the whole day's journey was arranged smoothly. The sun was shining brightly that day, and the scenic spots were so beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds. I was very happy!

i am the only non-chinese speaking customer on the whole trip last 3/30, but our guide, miss lina, did her best to explain everything in english, we also talked in japanese (because i am based here in japan). we did visit mojiko port, karato fish market (surprisingly i enjoyed this part, seeing people eating sushi and kaisendon at the seaside warmed my heart), tsunoshima bridge and motonosumi shrine.

Thanks to gogoday for taking me to Motonosumi Shrine and Tsunoshima Bridge. Although the journey is far, it is really worth it. I will join the gogoday one-day tour next time if I have the chance.
