Im just gonna say it. I loved it. It was awesome. I love the food, the sight, the people there. And the agency was so considerate. They planned everything perfectly. I enjoyed the red land very much. The sky was clear, so I had my first panoramic view of sunrise of my life. I’ll never forget it. Besides, the hotel owner was so nice. He noticed my phone was dying and offered me his charger. I couldn’t be more grateful. And the guide was beyong professional. I love her voice. Hope I get to do this one more time soon.
It was so impressive for me to spend wonderful 2 days in Yunnan province. During this period, I visited Dongchuang, a famous city in red soil. First day, l leaved Kunming to Dongchuan and enjoyed the spectacular sunsets in Luoxiagou Vally. Besides, I also learned local culture about sacrifice such as the Ancient Dragon Tree. Second day, I had breakfast and lunch in here and visited the beautiful sunrise. During those 2 days, the services of agency and tuor guide are considerably considerate. Comparing to thouse world famous tourist attractions, Dongchuang may not as famous as them, but it is worthwhile for me to know Yunnan comprehensively.
It’s been a wonderful trip! I spent two days in Yunnan, where this travel agency provided excellent service for me. The first day in Dongchuan was undoubtedly a pleasure. As a photographer, I really appreciated the beautiful view there. I took like thousands of pictures; the sunset and the fields are so unforgettable. By the way, the dinner tasted very special. On the second day we had spotted the sunrise. To be honest, stepped on the red soil and watched the peasants do their farm work really made me feel calm. Of course, the hotels in both Dongchuan and Kunming are nice. The guide was also professional, he definitely knew Dongchuan and its red land very well. And again, thanks my travel agency for providing such a good service to me. Hope I can visit Kunming with you soon.
