Sacred Mountains and Temples Tour (19 days)
Beijing – Chengde – Datong – Wutaishan – Pingyao – Xi’an – Longmen – Wudangshan – Shanghai
Our project began in 2019, with a covid interruption in 2020, and then until its completion at All Saints’ Day 2024, finally 22 travelers for this 19-day tour “Sacred Mountains and Temples of China”. With Serge, there was a permanent exchange until the realization of this dream of visiting for me and my partner the sources of Chinese culture and our energy practices, qi gong, taiji quan, TCM and taking this group of students there with their friends and children.
We are all quite happy with this experience. Of course, there are improvements to be made, probably criticisms to be made, but if we stay connected to the moment and adapt our Western reaction to what is happening, then the trip becomes wonderful. The guides, all French-speaking, were attentive to us, taking great care of us. The drivers were there at the right time with efficient and safe driving. The hotels were sometimes sublime and charming, and sometimes just hotels, allowing us to rest, but always decent and clean. The number of desired visits sometimes made us rush and feel like we couldn’t see everything, the free time was obviously limited, the Chinese meals were always decent, but perhaps the contact with other restaurants than those adapted to group tourism was missing. But surely difficult for 22 travelers to find these gems.
Thank you to you Serge, to your partners on site (regional managers and guides) and to China Roads, for a very positive overall rating, it was great to experience it.
