Tips: According to our field inspections to Zhangjiajie and Fenghuang, we found hotels and local travel services there can not meet the standard of TravelChinaGuide. So we kindly suggest that clients would not go there for a visit unless you think highly of the sightseeing more than the services you will receive.

Re our experience, the weather in April in Zhangjiangjie is not very well. If come across a rainy day, the fog will be thick on the mountain and all beautiful sceneries cannot be seen.

Never never never to ask the fortune teller in the Puguang Temple there, you are definitely to be racketeered. Even if you are accompanied by the guide, the case keeps the same.

When take a drift, don't take much money with you, 50-100yuan is enough. Had better not take the camera or walkman with you, or it will get wet. Before the drift, pay a call before set off.

And sometime, the raincoat can be a good preparation.

Some discovery from our recent China tour

We just came back from our china tour. When browsed the website to choose a travel agency, we paid main attention to the price. The agency we used quoted about $200 less than this website(travelchinaguide) and surely we chose the cheaper one. For hindsight, we might make a wrong decision. Our tour did not include the dinners and the guide suggested that for us, each meal cost about 100yuan for each person. The guide also brought us to shops one by one and lots of time lost here. Now we know the guide could get part commission from our consumption. Really Bad feeling. Also, the 4 star hotels described in the itinerary were quite far from our expectations.

Suggestion: When book a tour with the travel agency, make clear all the things included in the itinerary and clarify no shopping in the our. Take both the price and
service quality into consideration before make the decision.
