Another Enjoyable Visit w China Culture Tours!
We were a group of 10 friends who visited Beijing, Tianjin & Xi'an on Mar. 15-23, 2018. Being seniors, we were particular about our transport, tours, train scheds, hotel and other travel details. Nora, our China Culture Tour coordinator went through every single detail patiently and efficiently. We were met by Wendy, our guide, in Beijing airport on time and also in all train stations. Our fast train 1st class seats were comfortable (like business class airline seats!). Ride so smooth you hardly felt you were moving until you see the countryside whizzing by. However, we all wished that the coasters used for transportation were newer and better maintained. Unfortunately, being seniors, the bumpy rides were uncomfortable especially when we had to endure it for long periods. Our Xi'an guide Amy was great, giving us a lot of info on rich history and the various sights we passed. Xi'an was a pleasant surprise, it is a beautiful city. It has much more to offer aside from the unbelievable diggings of Terracotta soldiers. The important city sites are lighted up at night, making the city look like a fairyland! Definitely Xi'an deserves a longer more leisurely stay. Tianjin is also interesting since it has a European feel since it was divided into concessions by diff. countries that occupied it. However, we stayed only 1 day and didn't hear much info about it. We had been to Beijing before so we enjoyed it esp. its different excellent Roast Duck restaurants! Thank you Nora and China Culture Tours for another over-all great experience.
