Three Gorges Dam

Dreams of Nature UKQ660552
5th to 27th September 2024

This was without no doubt my one of the best and
truly felt like a Wish and Dream come true fulfilled
with absolutely excellent experiences and bringing back lifetime lingering memories

It was very well organised with detailed daily itineraries and seamless tour culminating in my safe return home. The Travel Consultants are very friendly, knowledgeable and very professional in portraying its Owner Wendy Wu's passion, enthusiasm and offering a unique travel experiences not only as China but worldwide Tours

The Hotels were of high quality standards and unique in its own ways!
.
Our National guide Raymond Lu was very professional with excellent historical and Geographical knowledge, fantastic customer services, always eager to help and support with positive attitude and always had a good focus for care safety and with great attention to details no matter how minute it may appeared throughout the journey - be it Hotel check in, comfort breaks dietary requirements, Bullet train and cruises checking and
to endless lists of the questions etc fellow travellers!
We were also fortunate to have local guides Oscar,LJ and Peter showing their respective regions with Passion expertise and made us feel welcoming

I would highly recommend without any hesitations to Feel, See, smell, Taste, Hear and experience with Difference these incredible Natural wonders of China - my favourite Zhangjiajie and the national parks with breathtaking and stunning views of the sandstone pillars,gorges and the canyons- unique experiences walking on the Glass bridge and the walkways.
The magnificent Yangtze River Cruise with the Professional and friendliest Crew ever, Three gorges Dam with its historical and magnificent Engineering feat and the Upstream & Downstream Ship upliftment and many more excursions were well organised My another favourite was the
Part of Tibet - Nine Villages Valley with mesmerising crystal clear lakes,Rivers Waterfalls and natural , serene and tranquil views

The culinary dietary requirements as a vegetarian were well looked after plus all the local folklore and evening entertainments were amazing!

In my views China is openly welcoming back Tourism and I will certainly look forward to explore other known parts of China and book the tour with One & Only Wendy Wu Tours my all time Favourite.

Dreams of Nature UKQ660552 certainly exceeded my expectations 😘

With much appreciation and from the bottom of my heart I Would like to say a big "Thank You to All at Wendy Wu Tours in making this dream come true!

Acknowledging the virtual Tour clip with Wendy and her Top Team first visit after China reopened made my heart set to visit these lovely place - want to revisit the dream !!!

Service rating : Our national Guide Wendy was fantastic. She made everything run like clockwork. A feat in it's self shepherding 28 bodies around! The local guides Mai, Eddie, Amy, Jenny and Stephen were also very good, very informative , and like Wendy, good fun!
Product : Very tiring but worth it. Food plentiful, but at some restaurants the meat was a little sparse and the Peking Duck dinner was a let down as everything was chopped up, bone, gristle, skin and a bit of meat (not like the shredded duck in English Chinese meals). Trips were very good and well organised. Hotels were mainly very good. The cabins on the Yangtze river cruise were naturally small with not a lot of storage space and a little tired but perfectly acceptable. The entertainment on the boat was very good, especially considering it was the staff not professionals giving the shows. (I sure you could mistake them for professionals!). The staff were very polite and friendly and one of the bar staff, Christina seemed to be able to remember everyone's name, amazing!
It would take too long to go into detail about the trips but for me The Great Wall stood out, but mind, be aware those steps are very steep and exhausting. The vastness of Pit no. 1 and of the detail of the Terracotta warriors. The colourful sights, sounds and smells of the Muslim Quarter in Xi'an. The Summer Palace by the lake. Three Gorges Dam and ship locks, a tribute to Chinese civil engineering on the Yangtze River cruise. The pandas at Chongqing. The Cormorant Fisherman show and having a Cormorant perched on my arm so my wife could take a picture.
Our group of 28 consisted of 21 English and 7 "Aussies" all got on well and had loads of laughs, including being stopped in the street by Chinese to take our picture, especially if one of us was Blonde or fair headed. Our guide said many Chinese holiday from rural parts where Westerners are a rarity. They are intrigued by our big noses too (but in a nice way!)
We thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and would not hesitate to recommend a trip to China through Wendy Wu Tours and our particular 16 day tour "The Wonders of China "
