We first visited Fangchuan on the three-country border, with views of both North Korea and Russia. Next day we drove through superb scenery to Changbaishan. We weren't scheduled to go up until the next day, but my guide Linda learned a typhoon was coming, so we hastened up immediately by the north slope. Luckily the clouds cleared, affording a great view of Tianchi. As anticipated, the mountain was closed next day, but Linda improvised some museum and park visits. On Day 4 we climbed the 1400 steps on the west slope; the clouds again obliged, lifting just as we arrived for an even better view this time. I took a train to Dailan for the last part of the tour. My energetic and knowledgeable guide Hebe took me on a wonderful walking tour around the city by the coastal route, taking in the main squares and parks, and a secret beach cove. I departed Dalian on the ferry to Yantai. I was completely satisfied with Easy China Tour's service. My agent Peicy was patient and flexible in negotiating the itinerary, helped me set up health apps in each province, and even checked the Covid requirement in hotels I booked myself. I have no hesitation in recommending this professional and friendly company.

We had very nice days with Andy. We had a big delay due to thunderstorm in Shanghai. Andy was very spontaneous and changed our plans so we could still enjoy and see everything what was important for us. He knows a lot of nice places and routes without too many people. He suggested us nice and friendly hotels. He knows al lot about this region and Chinese history but he isn’t talking frequently. What we really enjoyed :) We can really recommend doing this tour with him!

Every year, rock climbers from all over the world travel thousands of miles to experience the style of Yangshuo's rock. Yangshuo, with more than 1,000 routes, has undoubtedly become the Mecca of climbers. Whether you are a first-time climber or a \"pro\" rock climber, Yangshuo can meet your climbing needs. Use your body to perceive the story of the rock face, to appreciate the fear and confusion in your inner self. In the face of difficulties, whether to face the difficulties or choose to succumb to nature. Only when you really feel the charm of climbing can you know the final answer.

Inclusions: All necessary equipment included, Englisn-speaking guides, Private transportation

Exclusions: Food, drinking water, snacks and other personal needs.

I really enjoyed the place and rock climbing with Terratribes Expeditions, excellent coach and guide, Afuhan, Kate and Tudor. They are friendly and kind, easy going and show me around, the cave, where I called it “Church of Rock Climbing” Definitely will go back there again soon???? 很喜歡這個地方及大地部落的攀岩行程,很贊的教練阿富汗、凱特和土豆。他們都很友善及好相處,帶我到處走走看看,到一個山洞,我稱它為攀岩教堂。我一定會很快地再度造訪。

Dear Jade, Thank you very much for an amazing tour. Out three days with you traveling Guilin and Yangshou were magical. With great care, always right on time, you took us and accompanied us to all the places we asked to see and arranged for us to have wonderful experiences; always adding that bit of knowledge, information, and local experience we were thriving for. Throughout the days (and evenings), with sunrise climbing to Xianggong Mountain, and a driver that picked us and drop us at the airport, you were ALWAYS there. And I know we weren't easy; a couple with two girls, the little one being only three years old. However, you were so patient and we really appreciate it and would like to recommend everyone coming to Guilin to book your guiding services. It will make all the difference for everyone.

The classic shot of Li River is the one called "fishing lights on the Li River", together with sunrise or sunset. In the past, local fishermen paddled their bamboo raft and went fishing on the Li River as night falls. A magical scene appears when the river is dotted with fishing lights. It's a scene that shows an intimate relationship between human and nature.  Highlights: 1. Enjoy the Sunset of the 20RMB note area. 2.  take the photos with fishermen on bamboo rafts or even with the fishing birds. Note: If you want to book this tour ONE day before, you'd better check with us if has a Fisherman available or not, due to sometimes the fishing man is fully booked, thank you.

Inclusions: The Private car & private guide, Round-trip private transfer, The charge of the Fisherman, Air-conditioned vehicle

If you are planning a trip to Guilin + surroundings, Andy is your Guy. I know Andy since 2015 and booked all my four trips to Guilin through him. This included trips where I only needed assistance to book the Li River Cruise and an airport transport but also fully customized private luxury tours with my family. Andy (or members of his team) were always on time, always friendly and helpful, always driving safely and always interested to make the most out of your trip. Professional, trustworthy, perfect English and always a great experience.
