Tea Culture
![]() Susan (our guide) is so cooperative with everything that we needed, she explained a lot of aspects of the ways the Chinese culture.The tea plantation has to be the most beautiful part of the itinerary, it's just so beautiful and meeting the local woman (can't recall her name) where she showed us what tea means to the Chinese culture (it's not just a drink) and scenery was just breathtaking. The guide will always make the difference in any itinerary, and Susan made the difference in this one. Would definitely recommend it. Thanks more

The very friendly guides from China Highlights showed this beautiful province! Especially Sally and Alice took care for us very well! We really enjoyed learning about minorities, see beautiful landscape and unesco ancient cities! There are less tourists than in other mainspots, so you feel a bit more „into“ the people’s life! I really recommend visiting Yunnan
![]() Wir haben einen Tagesausflug von Shanghai aus nach Hangzhou gemacht. Es war ein absolut beeindruckendes Erlebnis! Bereits die Fahrt mit dem High Speed Train war irre. Unsere Führerin Jill hat uns zuverl?ssig vom Bahnhof abgeholt. Mit dem Minibus ging es an den Westsee, zum Lingyin Tempel und in die Altstadt. Jill war sehr kompetent und ist bereitwillig auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen. Im Tempel waren sehr viele Menschen, Jill kannte alle Schleichwege und hat uns geschickt durch die Menge gelotst. Sie war st?ndig in Kontakt mit unserem Fahrer, so dass wir nie warten mussten. Absolut empfehlenswert! more
