I highly recommend Hello China Travel for your vacation in China. Initially, what piqued my interest in visiting China was the Great Wall. Hello China Travel helped me create a 12-day itinerary during which I experienced the Great Wall, toured the Forbidden City, admired the stunning landscapes of Zhangjiajie, and savored the culinary delights of Chengdu. All the transportation during the trip was perfectly arranged. The complex logistics of international travel were expertly handled, allowing us to focus on enjoying ourselves and learning about the culture. This was a once-in-a-lifetime vacation experience.

Stella is our itinerary planner. Everything went very smoothly, and we didn\'t have to worry about anything because everything was planned perfectly. Our guide in Zhangjiajie, Tina, was very informative and provided detailed explanations. Her English is very fluent. The guide in Yunnan was also very knowledgeable. Both hotels had excellent breakfasts and very clean rooms. Our driver was always punctual. I recommend Nihao China Tour to everyone who asks about our trip.

When we arrived at Beijing Airport in China, our travel advisor Snow greeted us, which felt wonderful. China is incredibly beautiful, and we especially loved Zhangjiajie. Hello China Travel arranged all the transportation seamlessly. All the hotels matched the descriptions or were even better. We were amazed by the stunning scenery of Zhangjiajie and were glad to spend several nights there. The Great Wall and the Forbidden City did not disappoint. Exploring during the day and night was very safe and enjoyable.
