Fayu Temple on Putuo Mountain, yellow temple walls, old green trees and visiting pilgrims
Elara
August 7, 2026
We wanted to visit Putuo Mountain but were worried about the complicated transportation connections from Hangzhou. This private tour made everything much easier. The driver picked us up from our hotel in the morning, helped us with the ferry transfer, and explained what to expect before arriving on the island. Putuo Mountain itself was beautiful and peaceful. Walking through the temples surrounded by trees and hearing the ocean nearby was a very special experience. We never felt rushed, which made the trip much more enjoyable.
Seaside beach of Putuo Mountain, visitors along shoreline and green hills
Caelan
August 7, 2026
Hi, I'm interested in this private tour because we would like to experience the cultural side of Putuo Island rather than just visit the famous spots. I have a few questions:
1. Are the temples on Putuo Island very crowded? Is there a better time of day to visit them?
2. Do we need to follow any special rules when visiting Buddhist temples?
3. Will we have time to enjoy the seaside scenery, or is the itinerary mainly focused on temples?
Ancient Seven?Arch Bridge over emerald water, lush forest and waterfall in Libo Guizhou
Soren
August 7, 2026
Guizhou was a fantastic choice for travelers who want something different from the usual China itinerary. Libo Xiaoqikong was like a natural paradise — clear rivers, waterfalls, and green forests everywhere.
The communication before the trip was excellent. The team answered our questions quickly and helped us prepare for the journey. During the tour, everything was organized but still felt flexible and personal.

August 7, 2026
We traveled as a family and were impressed by how smoothly everything was arranged. The route included beautiful landscapes but was not too exhausting. My favorite part was probably the evening in Huanggang Village. It was very different from the places we had visited before — quiet, traditional, and welcoming. We really enjoyed learning about Dong culture from our guide.
Thank you for making our Guizhou trip so comfortable and memorable.

Callum
August 7, 2026
We were looking for a different side of China beyond the famous cities, and this Guizhou trip was exactly what we hoped for. Walking through the Dong villages, hearing traditional songs under the drum towers, and hiking through the rice terraces were unforgettable experiences. The route was very well planned — we never felt rushed, and every day brought something new. Our guide was knowledgeable and patient, especially when explaining the local customs and helping us communicate with villagers. It felt more like traveling with a local friend than joining a tour.

Marlowe
August 7, 2026
Hello, the itinerary looks exactly like the kind of Guizhou experience we are looking for. We would love to explore the local villages and learn more about Miao and Dong culture instead of just visiting the popular attractions. I have a few questions before booking:
1. Since some villages seem quite remote, how comfortable is the transportation between each destination?
2. Will we have opportunities to interact with local people and experience the traditional ceremonies?

Amara
August 7, 2026
Hello, we are planning our China trip and would like to include Guilin and Yangshuo in our itinerary.
1. Is one day enough to see the highlights of Yangshuo?
2. Can this tour be combined with a visit to Longji Rice Terraces?
3. Would you recommend staying overnight in Yangshuo?
Panoramic night scenery of mountain?side ancient town Wangxiangu
Isolde
August 6, 2026
Hi, I'm planning a trip to Huangshan and this itinerary looks exactly like what I'm looking for. I'm especially interested in sunrise photography and the mountain scenery. I have a few questions before booking:
1. Which sunrise viewpoint would you recommend if we stay overnight on Huangshan Mountain?
2. Does the itinerary include places like Bright Summit and Xihai Scenic Area?
3. How much hiking is involved each day? I'm comfortable walking but would prefer a route with the best views rather than the most difficult trails.
4. What time do we usually start the hike on the second day?

Maeve
August 6, 2026
We booked this tour because my mother wanted to buy a pearl necklace, and we didn’t feel confident going to Zhuji on our own. The journey from Hangzhou was very easy, and we appreciated being picked up directly from our hotel. The pearl market was huge with so many choices, from simple everyday jewelry to more elegant pieces. We enjoyed taking our time to look around instead of being rushed.
Ancient alley in Xidi Village, Huizhou style white?wall buildings with red lanterns, Huangshan
Elian
August 5, 2026
Hi, we are interested in this Shanghai to Xidi & Hongcun day trip and would like to know more details before booking.
1. Is it realistic to visit both Xidi and Hongcun in one day from Shanghai? We are worried that too much time will be spent on transportation.
2. How much free time will we have in each village?
3. Is the walking route difficult? My parents will travel with us, and they can walk but prefer a relaxed pace.
Thank you for your advice!
Chongqing Yangtze River Cruise Ship Sailing Under Dongshuimen Yangtze River Bridge

August 5, 2026
Hello! I have a layover in Chongqing August the 7th. My plane arrives at 15:30 and leaves at 02:50 in the night (August the 8th) so i'm only for the night in chongqing. I was wondering if it was possible to book a driver from and to the airport true your services. Maybe if its possible also some sightseeing but mostly free time to explore hongya Dong by walking.
Let me know if it's possible on such a short notice and what the price would be for a solo traveller.
Thank you!

August 5, 2026
We had a wonderful day exploring Zhangjiajie with BUER China Travel. As a middle-aged traveler from Southeast Asia, I was a little worried that the mountain routes might be too tiring, but everything was arranged very smoothly. Our guide was patient, friendly, and always helped us find the best viewpoints and take beautiful photos. Thank you for creating such a memorable journey for us. We truly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this tour to friends visiting China.

August 4, 2026
This was our first time visiting Xishuangbanna, and this tour gave us a wonderful introduction to the region.
The rainforest scenery was beautiful, and we especially enjoyed visiting the Dai villages and learning about their traditions.
Our guide Lily was fantastic — she explained the culture in a very interesting way and always adjusted the pace when we needed a break.
The whole trip felt relaxed and well organized.

August 4, 2026
Hello, we are interested in this Xishuangbanna tour because we really want to experience the rainforest and local Dai culture.
We have a few questions before booking:
1. Is Wangtianshu Rainforest suitable for people who are not experienced hikers?
2. How difficult is the canopy walkway? Is it safe?
3. Will we have enough time to enjoy the scenery and take photos?
Thank you!
Ancient Chinese imperial building with golden roof and red walls, Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, Nanjing
Serena
August 4, 2026
This was one of the best decisions we made during our Shanghai stay. Nanjing was completely different from Shanghai, and our guide Kevin showed us another side of China. He knew the best photo spots at Ming Xiaoling and even recommended a quiet corner away from the crowds. The organization from hotel pickup in Shanghai to the return transfer was perfect.

Andrew
August 3, 2026
Hello, we are traveling with my parents and we have some safety concerns about Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
1. If my parents feel uncomfortable at higher altitude or decide not to take the cable car to Glacier Park, is there a place where they can rest while waiting for us?
2. Could the driver take them to Ganhaizi Meadow for a walk while we visit Glacier Park?
Jiuzhaigou turquoise lake, autumn forest and snow mountain scenery
Robert
August 3, 2026
This trip exceeded our expectations. We originally booked because of Zhangjiajie, but Jiuzhaigou became our favorite part. The colors of the lakes and mountains were unbelievable. Everything from booking to the final airport transfer was handled professionally.
Golden rice terraces and mountain village in Longji, Guilin
Sophia
July 31, 2026
The scenery at Longji was breathtaking, especially with the clouds around the mountains in the morning. Our guide Leo was the highlight of the trip. He was professional but also felt like a friend traveling with us. He shared local stories, recommended good viewpoints, and took many great photos for our family. The company was also very responsive when we changed our pickup location last minute. Really appreciated the flexibility.

Team: The communication before arrival was excellent. They answered all our questions patiently and helped us understand what to expect, especially regarding Longji hiking and the Li River Cruise.
