My husband and I spent 4 wonderful and interesting weeks in April/May 2019 with driver Xu, traveling around China's Northeastern provinces (Dongbei) starting in Shenyang, continuing to Dalian, Dandong, Huanren, Ji'An, Changbai, Liaoyuan, Changchun, Qiqihar, Wudalianchi and Harbin (3days) where Xu is from. I speak some Mandarin, but even without, it would be no problem traveling with him as he has an excellent translation app and Baidu GPS.
Xu has an acute sense of what you might want to do, finds interesting places to see and eat. He is just such a nice person, drives carefully and is always punctual and very flexible. During the time we spent with him it felt like being a family.
