Une expérience inoubliable :)
Nous avons passé trois jours merveilleux accompagnés de notre guide, Lucie (Zhuqing). Elle a illuminé notre séjour par sa bienveillance, sa joie de vivre, sa présence constante, et son investissement passionné :) C'était un vrai plaisir d'être guidés par elle. Nous avons eu beaucoup d'explications historiques et culturelles lors des visites (armée en terre cuite, grande pagode de l'oie sauvage, ramparts de l'ancienne ville, quartier musulman). Elle était également très à l'écoute de nos envies, nous a fait découvrir une multitude de mets locaux et nous a beaucoup aidés face à la barrière de la langue :) Je recommande à 100% cette expérience ! more
