I am very glad to participate in this Tour review. I had a great time in the 4 Days Haba Snow Mountain Climbing Adventure with Tiger Leaping Gorge Tour. First of all, my tour guide showed me the schedule of this trip before the start of this trip. The schedule was very reasonable and clear, so I would not feel too rushed, but also relax myself and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Secondly, the Haba Snow Mountain Guesthouse I was arranged to stay in on the first day was very clean, and most importantly, I could see the view of Haba Snow Mountain from the window. The bus was on time and the meals were local. Of course, I think the best thing about the site is that it is organized and convenient. It offers a large number of travel options before the trip even starts, which greatly reduces the stress of planning my own trip.
