This is a group priced private tour allows 3 maximum, 280 USD per group not per adult, This is an extention tour of Dazu Rock Carvings. Most tour products offer only one site called Baoding, this extention tour covers both 2 sites in Dazu-Baoding and Beishan. Beishan site is less known for it's kind of isolated, and most tour companies would cut it off for lower price, plus most local guides were not trained for this site. Beishan is a learning site fits those peace and quietness seekers, cultural historical learners. This tour also offers a chance to experience amazing country view and folk custom, going through culture+history+country view+special local cuisine within just one day, and a right guide helping around, this is absolutely a smart choice in Chongqing City. You also need a friendly and sophisticated guide and a safe driver to do critical help, a driver-guide who knows both Chinese culture and how to do a safe, joyful and professional guiding job will be your choice.
