Alle Punkte der Tour waren sehr sehenswert. Bei der Pagode erhielten wir zusätzlich noch eine kleine Extra-Führung durch einen Bekannten und eine Einführung in buddhistische Lehren. Auf der Stadtmauer gingen wir vom östlichen zum südlichen Tor schöne 5km mit hübschen Türmchen zwischendrin. Man hätte sich für kleines Geld auch ein Fahrrad mieten können. Beim Mittagessen war sie als Übersetzerin sehr hilfreich, die Sprachbarriere liegt doch noch sehr hoch, ohne Übersetzerin muss man schon gutes Chinesisch sprechen. Auch das muslimische Viertel mit der Moschee war sehr nett, sie erklärte viel über die dort lebenden Muslime und die unendlich vielen Speisen, die angeboten wurden.
Sehr lohnenswert und empfehlenswert!
