Joe was our tour guide to our four days and three nights trip to HuangShan and Hongcun through Travel China Guide. He is very knowledgeable, informative, pleasant and helpful. His command of English is excellent !!
He helped us to plan this front mountain hike up and come down from the back mountain. We took the cable car from Mercy Light Temple to Jade Screen and hike from there to Beihai Hotel. It was a difficult hike but it was well worth the effort. Because Joe knows the mountain like his back yard. We experienced the mountain, the trees, the rocks, the culture, and the history through his eyes.
The weather on the mountain changed constantly. He was be able to re-arrange the hikes accordingly so we can see the best of the different peaks. The hotel, transportation and the meals are all well planned. Two nights stay was perfect for us so we can have time to explore and enjoy the mountain.
Joe introduced us to the Hongcun after the mountain visit. It was such a nice visit to this treasure.He get to know the tradition, the culture and the people.
Joe does not just have wealth of knowledge about HuangShan and Hongcun but he also has infinite patient when we wondered off or tired! We enjoyed his guiding. We also appreciated Joe's support and understanding. It has become the best and unforgettable part to our whole China trip!
