This was a nice trip, but I feel it was too short. We didnt have enough time to explore all the ancient buildings. Would of liked to stay longer but the food was really good!
nice
Karen Goh –
I loved the tour, Zhujiajiao is so peacefull and beautifull. The food was good, but the zongzi should be a bit more hot. The old bridges were nice to walk around but could use a little more clean.
