Tianjin

Ordered for delivery to the hotel in Shanghai. Delivery was prompt by courier but no notification of parcel tracking and delivery time. Had to ask the hotel a few times to be able to get the cards. Other than that, cards were cute and usable.

Jeg er en utlending som ikke snakker kinesisk. Jeg visste at denne turen ble holdt på kinesisk, så jeg forventet ikke å forstå guidens forklaringer. Jeg skulle undersøke selv og også prøve å ta opp noen av guidens kommentarer og komedieshow (senere ville jeg be noen som snakker godt kinesisk om å gi meg en kort forklaring basert på opptaket). Alt i alt var denne turen grei, hvis du er en utlending som ikke forventer for mye. Været var veldig varmt, så det var godt nok for meg å enkelt transportere meg med turbuss. Ett alvorlig problem var samlingspunktet. Guiden ba meg møte ved utgang 5 på Tianjin stasjon. Men selv om jeg spurte rundt blant arbeiderne der, var det ingen som viste meg det nøyaktige stedet. Jeg måtte ta taxi til porselenshuset selv og møte guiden der. Bortsett fra det var alt bra. Jeg fant ingen tur med rimelig pris for en enkelt utenlandsk turist. Så selv om det var ting som ikke tilfredsstilte meg, anbefaler jeg fortsatt denne turen. Guiden 小苏 var så hyggelig.

Veldig informativ tur. Gruppen tok godt vare på meg og gjorde det til en hyggelig dag.

Very good complimentary tour provided by the Porcelain house that covered the history of the building.

This 6-day in-depth Beijing tour is absolutely perfect, with highlights including the Palace Museum (Forbidden City) and Old Summer Palace. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and patient, sharing vivid stories of Ming and Qing royal history and exquisite architectural details when we visited the Forbidden City. The grand vermilion walls and golden glazed roofs left us speechless. We had plenty of time at the Old Summer Palace: we strolled along the peaceful Fuhai Lake with willow reflections, and paused by the ruins of Western Palaces to reflect on profound history, blending stunning natural scenery with valuable historical lessons. The itinerary was well-paced, accommodation clean and tidy, and private transfers were hassle-free with no forced shopping. It’s an immersive journey through thousands of years of Chinese civilization, highly recommended to all travelers!

The description mentioned 9D, but the experience did not seem befitting of the mention of 9D. I was expecting the experience to include water spraying etc when the scene moves through rivers and seas, but the experience was largely the chair moving / shaking. Nevertheless, the ticket was not expensive so the experience was acceptable.
