the guide is really very detailed that he explained every wall, statue or small building that we are walking by and gave an actual rundown of what is it about. worth the booking. most importantly, he is punctual.
my guide was fabulous. I loved how interactive she was and explained both historic names and present names which made it easy to understand. I ended up getting a Chinese guide which I was a bit worried about at first, however she was amazong. if you need a Chinese tour guide I highly recommend 白霜.
Our guide 张娜 (Zhang Na), a Chinese speaking guide, explained a lot of interesting information about the temple and the deities housed within, and also about the life of Xuanzang the monk. Highly recommend exploring the pagoda and temple with a guide to better understand the history.
Our guide, Ms Zhang Yi Dan, was very responsible, sent us the meet up time and location one day in advance, detailed the very interesting history of XuanZhang for 90 minutes non-stop and sent us more historical information after the tour.
The Anan tour guide provided detailed explanations, covering the entire park thoroughly, which helped everyone understand the area better. I recommend everyone hire a guide; otherwise, you'll just be passing through and won't understand anything.
instructions were clear and specific from the beginning. we were told to chat on WeChat to coordinate meet up. Tour guide Chen Xi was very helpful. She guided us to the meeting point with video and pictures. very detailed with the explanation of the big wild goose pagoda. really enjoyed myself. thank you
