    great experience

    Visiting the Shaolin Temple was definitely the highlight of our trip. Watching the kung fu demonstration and learning about the monks’ daily lives gave us such a unique insight into Chinese culture. It was fascinating and unforgettable. My family and I really felt like we were experiencing something authentic and deeply meaningful.

    Our cultural journey through China was incredible

    China truly is a country with a rich and profound historical heritage. Luoyang’s Longmen Grottoes took our breath away and the ancient Buddhist carvings were even more impressive in person. In Beijing, climbing the Great Wall was unforgettable, and the Peking duck is so good. The tour organization was perfect, With professional tour guide, comfortable transportation and well-chosen hotels, every detail was handled professionally, making this trip both educational and relaxing.

    Highly recommended our tour guide to everyone

    Visiting Beijing, Xian alongside Luoyang was a fantastic experience. The Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang are stunning, with thousands of detailed Buddhist carvings that tell an incredible story. Beijing’s historical sites and Xian’s Terracotta Warriors were equally impressive. I have to say that our tour guide, Leo, was so knowledgeable and considerate! He made our trip more smooth and enjoyable. Thank you for your well-planned journey, my family and I found it absolutely unforgettable.
