Fascinating tour of three temples representing Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. Great lunch at a local restaurant where we experienced the food of our guide's youth, which is exactly what we wanted. Tea ceremony was a bit rushed, as if the presenter was more interested in getting us to the gift shop than teaching us about the importance of tea in Chinese culture; however, it did not take away from a wonderful day of touring and learning about these philosophies.

El servicio de Ramón fue excelente por sus amplios conocimientos de los tres templos, nos aclaró bastante dudas y sus explicaciones fueron muy claras y concretas, el manejo de los tiempos y la paciencia que tuvo al responder todas las preguntas fue genial y lo agradecemos mucho, el restaurante al que nos llevo a comer es delicioso y siempre cuido el que nos sintiéramos bien y entendiéramos todas sus explicaciones realmente estamos muy agradecidos y satisfechos con su servicio. También es importante mencionar que Ramón hablaba muy buen español
