1. When Chinese Leaves Fall
This unique autumn trip begins and ends in two of the best known nature reserves of China. The first is Jiuzhaigou, internationally recognized as one of the most beautiful nature reserves in the world, and the latter is Zhangjiajie which was brought to the public attention as it served as the background for the Hollywood hit movie, Avatar. These two nature reserves consist of dense forests, and thus, when autumn arrives, they stand in beautiful autumn foliage. In between these two magnificent sites we travel just below the Tibetan Plateau, where communities of Tibetans managed to avoid the political turbulences often stirring the Tibetan plateau. These communities have therefore managed to better maintain their unique traditions and way of life. We will travel amidst beautiful villages, and get an in-depth insight to Tibetan culture.

We just came back from a three week trip to China‘s 9 holy mountains. What a trip - temples, mountains, cities, natural beauty and most of all nice people. Ron Oren and his team developed a individual program for my wife and myself that was exceptional in all regards. One of the best trips ever.

Our large group of 17 family and friends enjoyed our 2 week Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou, Ermei, Leshan trip with Aline very much. Aline planned the itinerary well with highlights being the newly opened Jiuzhaigou/Huanglong areas (super wow), Emei/Leshan and Chengdu city areas. She even took us to the less known Bifengxia zoo where we are able to feed lions, tigers, bears up close and observe the panda in really close range. Aline is extremely dedicated. Before the trip, I mentioned that Singapore does not allow fireworks, and Aline brought along some impressive fireworks for us to set off. That's something the kids (and even adults!) enjoyed very much for the first time! Its an unique experience for us Singaporeans. She also went out of her way to help the group. When we needed bubble wrap to hand carry some fragile items, she ordered it from the Chinese websites and arranged for it to be delivered to the hotel the next day. She also helped us order several things from Chinese websites which saved us a lot of hassle. Of course Aline was completely professional in the usual tour guide duties : flexibly amending the schedule to tailor to weather and our preferences, taking care of the group, recommending food choices etc. She is a very committed tour guide and goes out of the way to meet our needs. We had a great trip and would not hesitate to recommend her to friends who is going to Chengdu!
3. 3 Days Jiuzhaigou Spring Tour( Apr. - Jun.)
As we know, Jiuzhaigou is famous for its Autumn scenery when trees turn colours, but its spring is fabulous in some other way. As spring approaches, rivers are swelling.

Soft and languid sunshine sprinkle all over the lakes and play with the shining blue waves joyously. With the distant jokul as a background, a fairy-tale world thus appears.

The visit was fun and our guide Mark was a very friendly guide. The tour lasted longer than advertised (ours ran from 7am-7.30pm) but that's always to be expected in China, just prepare for a full day of activity. The ride from the panda base to Leshan can take about 3 hours so this tour isn't for everyone, it's a lot of sitting on the minibus. However it was a very easy and comfortable way to get to the pandas and the Buddha without the hassle of trains and buses and taxis. We had some delicious lunch in Leshan too (not included in price) which Mark helped us order.

Got in rather late to the airport with an arrival from Beijing. It was nice to see someone waiting for me with the sign with my name on it. The young driver was polite and friendly and extremely helpful. Highly recommend! I had to change the date and time and the coordinator was very flexible. He contacted me via WeChat, so very easy to communicate.
