10-day China tour We recently completed a wonderful 10-day tour of Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai, and Hong Kong with Odynovo as part of a small group of nine travelers. In Beijing, we visited the Forbidden City, the Hutong area, and Tiananmen Square on our first day. On the second day, we explored the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall and also visited the Olympic Bird's Nest and Water Cube. Our guide in Beijing, Mr. Randy Zhu, was friendly, knowledgeable, and highly experienced. He knew the city well and took us to restaurants that served delicious Peking duck. On our departure day, Randy accompanied us to the train station and provided clear instructions on boarding our train to Xi'an. We all loved Randy and appreciated his excellent service. Upon arriving in Xi'an, our guide, Ms. Candy Zhang, greeted us at the train station and escorted us to our hotel, where she helped with check-in. The following day, we visited the Terracotta Warriors Museum in the morning and explored Muslim Street in the afternoon. Candy has decades of experience as a tour guide in Xi'an. She is warm, caring, and made us feel right at home. She went above and beyond by helping us book tickets for the famous Legend of the Camel Bell show. When it was time for us to leave Xi'an, Candy stayed with us at the airport until we passed through security. She was truly exceptional, and we all missed her after leaving. In Shanghai, we visited Fuxing Park, Tianzifang, and the Bund waterfront, where we enjoyed taking photos of the impressive skyline. We also toured the beautiful Yu Garden and the Shanghai Museum. Our guide, Ms. Vivian Pan, was helpful. She and our bus driver even worked overtime to ensure we could attend the Shanghai Royal Banquet Dinner Show in the evening. When we arrived in Hong Kong, we were welcomed by our guide, Mr. Martin Cheng. Martin is energetic, engaging, and clearly knows Hong Kong inside and out. He took us on the historic Peak Tram to Victoria Peak, guided us through the Mid-Levels Escalator area and Central Market, and introduced us to the local favorite dim sum restaurant, Luk On Kui in Sheung Wan. Martin also provided fascinating explanations about the history of the Hong Kong Correctional Services Museum. He and our bus driver were well-prepared and expertly navigated the busy streets of Hong Kong. Overall, our trip to China was outstanding. We learned a great deal about Chinese culture, history, and modern life. We appreciate our travel agent Queenie Yang of Odynovo for arranging our hotels, guides, transportation, and transfers. Everything was organized professionally and executed smoothly. We highly recommend Odynovo to anyone considering a tour of China.
