Very caring young lady Du Guide ~ Explain professionally and seriously. The whole family likes 😘 amiable attitude. The explanation is clear. Tell me the history of the Forbidden City slowly. Let us have a deeper understanding of the Forbidden City. Very satisfied with the trip to the Forbidden City!
The story of the imperial city, Yue, is very professional. Let me and my friend cross the Ming and Qing periods from now on. Let us understand that there is a big gap between TV drama and history. Guide Yue's explanation has a shallow and deep, vivid and interesting way. Let us feel the historical and cultural heritage and value of the Forbidden City. A lot of historical knowledge has been harvested. This trip to the Forbidden City was very happy. Five-star praise [screaming teeth] You deserve it! recommend! recommend! recommend!
The first time I went to Beijing to travel, of course I went to the Forbidden City Museum! ! ! So I booked a local travel agency and explained the whole process. It was really great. The lecturer who led us was a lecturer in Jingzhuangyuanlin. He knew the Forbidden City like his palm. When he asked questions, he could answer them and learn a lot of historical knowledge. The Forbidden City is quite majestic. Next time I come or recommend it to a friend, I will still find a lecturer in Jing Zhuangyuanlin.
Xiucai said that Qi Dao contacted us one day in advance to meet the time and place. The explanation of the Forbidden City the next day was very meticulous, caring, there were many children in the group, the history stories and traditional culture were particularly wonderful, and it took more than 3 hours without knowing it. It is highly recommended.
Must give a good review, the weather is very good, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the tour guide explains, the gush, like a number of Zhen, the service is intimate, the detailed explanation, the itinerary is reasonable, did not live up to my expectations, the first visit to the Forbidden City is very perfect, Xiucai said that the Sun Guide is really good and great.

Xiucai said that Li guide took us to visit the Forbidden City in a limited time. It was a very enterprising experience. From the initial worry, I met the boring and rigid guide. I didn't expect to listen to Li guide's explanation. It seems to have an immersive feeling. It is worth recommending. Five-star ⭐ praise!
