The meals were great. There was always plenty
of food and the restaurants were always very nice.
The one meal that I would recommend to my friends/family
was the fried chicken, rice, soup, etc. I was impressed
with all of the meals. Even the breakfast that was
provided at the hotels was always very nice.
All of our guides were very professional. They were all very knowledgeable and
were able to explain the history behind all of the places that we went to. I
learned so much from them and was interested in everything that they told us.
All of the guides were able to answer any questions that we may have had.
All of the drivers were very nice and the cars were very clean.
Besides Beijing, Datong was probably my favorite place to visit. Our Guide Judy
was very nice and helpful. While on the tour, we took 4 trains. 2 of the trains
were overnight, the train from Datong to Luoyang was from 11:30pm-11:30am while
the one from Xian to Beijing was from 8:30pm to 7:45am. Both of us enjoyed the
train from Xian to Beijing much more because we hung out, went to sleep, and
when we woke up we were at our destination. The train from Datong to Luoyang
wasn't as nice because we arrived at the train station 3 hours early and just
sat there. I would suggest making most of the overnight trains earlier (like
the one from Xian to Beijing). |
