It was a very fantastic tour with amazing view and experience. Overall, it was very well organised with good communication with Sophia who helped to provide the itinerary and the details of the tour. All the pickups in different locations were also well arranged. Amanda who was our tour guide in Zhangye and Dunhuang is our favourite.

This was our 3rd time with CXT and again, it didn’t disappoint! Our trip this time brought together 6 siblings (ages 80-89) and families to visit their father/grandfather’s home on Yanzhou Island and other places like Zhaoqing, Guangmen, etc. Big thanks to our guide Chris and bus driver Siao Qu who were both patient and helpful.
