This is my 3rd group trip with China Discovery planned by Jack Li. A wonderful itinerary of 19days/18days from Guilin, to Guizhou and Hunan.

Group size: 22 people - 50% above 63 yrs old, 49% above 70 yrs old & One at 80 yrs old.

Places of visited: Guilin City, Yangshou River Cruise, Longji Rice Terrace, Zhaoxing Dong Village, Biasha Miao Village (The Last Gunslinger Village), Jiabang Rice Terrace (one of the most beautiful rice terrace), Xiaoqikong Scenic area, Quiyang old town, Huangguoshu Waterfall (Anshu), Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, Langde Upper Miao Village, Zhenyuan Ancient Town, Fanjingshan UNESCO mountain (a beautiful hike to the top), Phoenix Ancient town (amazing night activities and scenery), Furong Ancient town (beautiful scenery) and finally the magnificent Zhangjiajie National park areas of Tianzi mountain, Grand Canyon, Glass bridge and Tianmen mountain.

Planning the itinerary with Jack is so easy as he is knowledgeable, experienced and motivated to provide an amazing holiday experience to his travellers.

The tour was carefully crafted. Everything went well from the day we arrived to the day we left to the airport. As we have three groups arriving at different time. Discovery China went out of the way to ensure each group are safely pick up and checked into our hotel without any hassle.

Tour guides in all 3 travel sectors (1. Guilin 4 days. 2.Guizhou 9 days and Hunan 6 days. Speaks good English, equipped with in-depth knowledge and have very pleasant manners. The tour guides even arranged the food with the restaurants to our liking i.e. less oily and spicy. Most of our food are delicious and suited our taste.

Drivers are very courteous and helpful. Coaches are clean and spacious except most of them are without USB outlet.

Jack has designed this tour enriched with culture and historical background at the same time also added with natural beautiful scenery. It was truly an amazing journey starting with most beautiful river cruise, walked through two beautiful rice terraces, explored four Ethnic minority villages, strolled through four ancient towns and hike two awesome mountains of Fanjingshan and Zhangjiajie.

We are so delighted and thankful that we have chosen to engage with Jack. We look forward to our next holiday with Jack and would not hesitate to recommend anyone to China Discovery. Jack, keep up your good work.
