Dear Fisher
Thank you for your email. I can't believe today is a week since our last day in Hong Kong. The time goes so quickly.
I actually resigned from my job the 2nd day back from holidays.
It was terrific to meet you in person and what a great country you live in. Darren and I had a great time and we will return.
As requested I have included feedback on the tours:
Mt Huangshan – please inform tourists to prepare an overnight bag as it is a 20 min walk to the hotel of arrival and approx 1 hour walk the next day. Carrying 15kg backpacks is tough. The hotel offers s very poor breakfast and the dinner should include one meat dish. We paid an additional 90 Yuan for an additional dish. Lunch was fine on both days. Our guide was excellent, she had a sense of humor and her English was very good. Overall we very much enjoyed our time in Huangshan.
The day tour in Hangzhou was very good, excellent lunch provided in fact too much food. Again the tour guide spoke very good English and added a visit to the tea plantation into our tour.
Our tour in Guilin was very good, the Elephant Hill however was a very disappointing attraction. Our guide was good, she does take her job very serious and has a stern personality. Our accommodation at Mangolia Hotel was the 2nd best accommodation on our trip. The room was lovely. A hotel without a lift may not suit all your customers however 3 flight of stairs was very manageable. You mentioned in a previous email the breakfast is not very good. Well, I disagree. One of the staff took us to a café and we were served a very tasty breakfast which was cooked fresh and consisted of freshly squeezed orange juice, yoghurt, cooked breakfast with eggs prepared to our liking and espresso coffee. In fact the breakfast was one of the best breakfasts we ate in China. The breakfast at the Universal Hotel in Guilin was quite average. Both hotel locations were very convenient.
We very much enjoyed visiting Yangshou and Longi.
All drivers were also very good.
Thank you for preparing our holiday, it was very memorable.
Kind regards
Cheryl and Darren Mott
