Very easy to redeem. Remember to bring your passport if you are not a local. The night view is spectacular. The bubble tram is nice but the wait can be very time consuming. Went in at 8.40pm and spent at least 45-60min queuing for bubble tram..End up didn't have much time to explore much as it closes at 10.30pm so do manage your time properly.

Car very clean and punctual. The driver very friendly and patient. He is very kind to recommend us many places for shopping. We have an amazing and enjoyable time. Is nice to book when we have elderly and kids. It could save us alot of time to travel around GZ. Will definitely book again if we come to GZ

Clean, shower 🚿 spout slightly short. There is a lot of food downstairs. You won't be hungry even if you come back late at night. I recommend tea downstairs at Dim Sum, but don't order the dry fried beef rice. Another recommendation is the barbecue Shitamachi across the street, the crappy meals are grilled for you to eat, but also on a charcoal oven.
