not a typical tour, and that’s a good thing - Our guide Lesley wasn’t just knowledgeable—she was emotionally connected to the city. She told us childhood stories, taught us local slang, and even showed us how she orders hotpot with friends. The route itself was beautifully planned. The Taoist cave temple felt secretive and sacred. The walk was gentle and scenic. And dinner was the grand finale. This tour didn’t just show us the sites, it brought us into them.
