Warriors and city tour
Mark was an informative and welcoming guide and Mr Ho was our considerate and helpful driver. Mark made sure we got to see all the historical sights and bustling Muslim Quarter, and gave us great hints and tips for places to eat. China Highlights organised everything for us and it ran like clockwork. more
