Guide A Xin not only provided professional explanations but also took us to a morning fog photo spot behind Hemu’s back mountain, an experience impossible to find on a self-guided tour. No shopping stops were arranged throughout the journey, and accommodation was nearly half the price of booking it ourselves—super cost-effective!”
Ms. Li from Chengdu (traveled in April 2026): “Traveling with parents, we最怕 (most feared) rushing around. This itinerary had fixed meeting points of 2-3 per day, with the rest as free time, so the elderly enjoyed it very much. Special thanks to the travel agency for preparing the emergency kit; the sunscreen and hiking poles were very useful in Koktokay!”
