Gorge and Caves, superbe!

A great day discovering less known and less touristy part of China. The gorge was nearly unreal, the caves gave us a taste of a distant past, Loris was professional and ready to assist!

Amazing tour with the perfect guide!

Jeffrey and his driver picked us up and took us on amazing tour of Longqingxia. The river cruise through the gorge was unbelievable. Lunch was amazing. Some of the best food we have had in China. Jeffrey picked all the dishes and made a far better choice than we would have. Last stop was the Guyaju Caves. Definitely a must see. It was pouring with rain but Jeffrey still managed to make the trip around the caves very enjoyable. Great day out!

Excellent day-long excursion in the outskirts of Beijing!

We had a fantastic day with Jeffrey. He and his excellent driver met us at our hotel (even though it wasn’t on the list of hotel pick ups) early so we could start our day. Lunch was at a local restaurant, Jeffrey asked our eating preferences, and did a great job picking a variety of yummy dishes. The river boat and the caves were perfect after our long flight to China and we even stopped at the jade factory for a tour and shopping before getting dropped back at our hotel. Lots of walking and stairs at the 2 stops. All in all a great excursion.
