Gorgeous rice terraces

Andy was an amazing tour guide and was flexible and made accommodations throughout the day. My kids had a blast and the rice terraces were one of their favorite trips!

Beauty of nature

Beautiful scenary along the way...Dazhai show is must for understanding unique culture. It was unfortunately raining when we went there, so no good pictures of rice terraces could be captured. Nevertheless, it was good to breath the fresh mountain air. Jerry, our guide, is very attentive. He is an excellent driver, having to manoeuvre winding roads on mountain side to drive us safely to catch our flight.

Golden color terraces

Andy was the right guide for us. From Yangshuo the drive was long but he was alert and attentive driving us safely to destination and back. The terraces was beautiful during this season and we had a great meal at a very scenic restaurant recommended by Andy.
