Nice place to see with a very good guide - The guide Alex was extremely good, giving extra advice when required. I just give 3 stars because the company changed the meeting point 8 hours before the trip and did not respect the point selected at booking. And the tour was in two languages, mandarin and english, and this was not indicated at booking.
