I booked a 3 star Li River cruise for seven people with chinadiscovery during China national hollyday, and it was the best part of the trip! Yangshuo and the Li river are really beautiful, the boat is very comfortable with huge seats, large windows and a rooftop to appreciate the view. Tea is served inside even dough we didn't payed to eat the meal.

I really appreciated the service with china discovery. During our 5 days trip, we encoutered many problems due to the huge number of tourists this period... but with china discovery, I found affordable prices to a luxury cruise I never thought I could afford (I am a student, and it was half the price I saw on every other websites!). As I decided to book the tickets the day before I started to travel with my friends, I wanted to book them really fast, so I called the number on the website and I imediately got someone talking english (which is really appreciable in china). I explained that I was in a hurry, so they arranged my booking in the next hour! Just be aware that there is a reservation fee, but if you are a large group, it is not a problem.

Then I arrived at Guilin (where the cruise started), and I got the contact of a local employee of chinadiscovery. It was a little weird, because she had to give me the tickets in hand the day before the cruise. I don't know why there is no digital version of it? Anyway, it was a problem because I was not available that day (tourist duties) except in the evening, and I got stuck in terrible traffic jam on my way back to the hotel so I thought I would never get my tickets... But the lady was really comprehensive and nice and when I finally arrived around 11:30 pm, I sent her a message and she came from her home to bring me the tickets, really friendly and not pissed off at all! (Thanks again to her!)

So, really kind staff, really good prices, incredible activity, I would for sure come back to them next time!

    Rachel Grant’s Panda Volunteer Experience in Dujiangyan

    The distinctive black and white animal is a national treasure in China and one of the rarest, most endangered bears in the world. A one-on-one encounter with a giant panda is a bucket list highlight and a must-do when you are in China. The time I spent witnessing such human dedication is truly eye-opening...
