The whole experience is amazing, from prebooking up to post booking. Hansong is very responsive and very quick to reply, I feel that he made the trip stress free, especially after having bad experience with another irresponsible,rude,unprofessional operator. Even after holiday, I still reached out to him asking help for my wechat issue, he was still very responsive and his communication is fantastic, something that I find a bit hard to find when you deal with local tour operators. Highly recommended, don't hesitate to use his service to make your trip stress free.

We’ve used two of the purchased guides Shanghai and Beijing. Trustworth seller and the guides are really well done. I would also offer a version without so many colors as it was difficult to print.
Highly recommended !
Thanks !

I found Hansong (Dophinunion) on Facebook “Travel in China”. Hansong provided multiple guides (Beijing, Xian, Chengdu, and Shanghai). A lot of tips regarding to applications needed to move around China. Payment processing when making purchase of food, restaurants, and etc. Recommendations to famous tourist attraction with peak time slot. How to avoid overpaying as well. Highly recommend this to future traveler that need additional informations to China!

Fantastic guide and now I am less nervous about travelling to Guangzhou!

I feel prepared and less overwhelmed now about my upcoming trip. I don’t feel I need to go anywhere else to get the information I need as this guide covers it clearly and in an understandable format. I know that this guide is going to be an essential part of my travel and I will keep referring back to it. I am grateful for such a comprehensive guide and it makes me less nervous about travelling to Guangzhou!

We recently visitedExceptional Service from Dolphin Union – Highly Recommended for Beijing Visitors! Beijing and used…
We recently visited Beijing and used Dolphin Union to organize our trip to the Great Wall of China and a separate transfer to Universal Beijing. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and stress-free – all thanks to our fantastic organizer, Hansong.
Hansong was incredibly responsive and easy to contact via multiple platforms, including WeChat, which made communication seamless. When unexpected weather changes affected our Great Wall plans, he went above and beyond to offer alternative options and ensure our trip still went ahead. His dedication to making our experience enjoyable was clear throughout.
What really stood out was the efficiency of the entire process. Hansong provided all the necessary details about our drivers and their vehicles in a group chat, which made everything feel organized and reassuring. He even checked in with us during the day to make sure everything was going smoothly.
The service was not only friendly and professional but also very reasonably priced. We felt well taken care of and appreciated the personal touch Hansong brought to the experience.
I would highly recommend Dolphin Union to anyone visiting Beijing. Whether you're planning a trip to iconic landmarks or theme parks, Hansong and his team will make sure it's a memorable and hassle-free experience.

Excellent guides. Not to large to make you confused and not too small.
Dolphinunion 回复2025-07-25
Happy to hear you found the guides just right—not too big, not too small, just like Goldilocks' perfect bowl of porridge! 😆 Thanks for the love, and safe travels ahead!
I bought three of their travel guides. They are excellent not only do they describe in details a large number of the best things to see and do. They also describe how best to book. Another feature I find very useful is the detailed explanation of practical things like how to download and install payment app, apps for hotels trains and more.
Really recommendable.

This is an excellent guide . Bought a Shanghai guide to start with but will buy the others at a later stage . It’s comprehensive , extremely well thought out with guides to transport , money , apps , eateries n so much more . On fb one get a lot of conflicting information fr others but with this guide one can simply cut out unnecessary info n concentrate on getting it right . TQ Hansong Li

Your message just made our office do a spontaneous 'Guidebook Happy Dance' 💃 (yes, it involves shuffling with maps as tambourines).
We totally get the FB info chaos — that’s why we secretly trained our writers with ‘Ninja-Level Fact Checking’ 🥷 before letting them near dim sum shops.
Hansong Li says ‘Xièxie nǐ!’ and promises to keep the next guides ‘so accurate, even your taxi driver will nod approvingly’ 🚖💨
Shanghai conquered? Beijing/Chéngdù/Tókyō is calling… 😉
I have got 4 free Chinese guides from Mr Hansong Li and a bonus guide which was for Chongqing. I was so impressed with the minute details in these guides that I decided to purchase the Zhangjiajie guide. He is extremely helpful and will go out of his way to answer any questions that you have. If you are hoping to visit China I suggest you purchase his guides, you will not regret it.

Your enthusiasm just made our day – thank you for sharing your journey with our guides! We're thrilled that the detailed tips helped you explore China with confidence.
Zhangjiajie’s ‘floating mountains’ await—don’t forget to check the hidden sunrise spots in your guide! 🌄 Ready to unlock your next destination? Just say the word.
I received free access to guides for four cities I’m traveling to soon. Mr Hansong Li is really kind, responsive, and precise. Travel guides are made phenomenally, down to the smallest details, and it includes all important information. It was a great help to get my final itinerary.

Bought the Chongqing guide and I must say the information provided is so detailed and useful especially for a first timer tourist as well as English speaking tourist. Mr Hansong Li is also very helpful and prompt in answering my queries. Thank you so much!

Your review just brought a spicy Chongqing hotpot-level smile to our faces! 🌶️ We're so glad the guide helped you navigate the '8D maze city' (even locals get lost sometimes!). Mr. Li sends his thanks and promises to keep those lightning-fast responses coming.
Hope you enjoyed the RMB 8 monorail ride and found your perfect mala tang spot - come back for our Chengdu guide next! 🐼
