Duan was such a Great guide. We laughed from day 1. I would personally like to thank him (which I did) for all the extra help he gave to my daughter. She had injured her leg right before the trip and he made sure our accomadations were easily accessible for her (in a walker). He explained everything in English so that we knew what was going on. Sometimes, while speaking Chinese he would put a phrase in in English and we would all laugh. The Buffets we stopped at were delicious and the hotels where we stayed we Great. Yes I would recommend this trip to my friends.
