CTG Group – How We Design Itineraries
One of the philosophies of our Chinatourguide.com group is that we always offer elaborately designed itineraries to our customers. Therefore, we visit the attractions, hotels and dining places on our itineraries and may go there several times to update our information. Again, we went to Guilin and Yangshuo to make a filed survey on itineraries and hotels in this early November. The Li River in Guilin and Yangshuo is among the most popular destinations in China, and they are on the promotion lists for many years. How can we provide new experience to our clients beyond these beaten paths? That is the question.
We made a detailed investigation for the hotels in the downtown of Guilin and Yangshuo – learning about the hotel locations, the sizes of rooms, services and amenities. After several times' comparison, we picked out some from so many hotels in downtown Guilin, and took plenty of photos of them and even VR panoramas. ONLY 3 hotels distinguished themselves among many competitors to become our final recommendation for our customers, namely, Sheraton Hotel Guilin (5 star), Guilin Bravo Hotel (4 star) and Hotel Universal Guilin (3 star). We approved these hotels according to our strict standards – good location, satisfying service, reasonable price, comfortable rooms and fine breakfast. Any hotels once on our recommended list failed to live up to the standards above, would be replaced when we came back.
We also visited the hotels over 3-star in downtown Yangshuo and we made our recommendation on Li River Hotel, Dragon River Retreat and Yangshuo Resort Hotel. Yangshuo Resort Hotel is a newly opened 5-star deluxe hotel for vacation. We made an overall check-out for the services and amenities to make sure the hotel is qualified for our standards.
As for the attractions along the Li River, we made our focus on the Xingping River section, 27 kilometers from Yangshuo downtown. And it is among the most beautiful of Li River. Most of the travel arrangement for this section is to take a river cruise. To make a difference, we targeted this part into the photography travel and hiking route. Photography travelers are always picky for the sites of shooting, avoiding the common composition taken in "I-am-here" photos.
Guilin is world-famous for its picturesque waters and mountains. In searching for the unique site for its unparalleled beauty of waters and mountains under both sunrise and sunset, we struggled to get up at 4 a.m. and climb for 40 minutes on a mountain for the best position and timing. In the afternoon, we also tried hard looking for a perfect sunset shooting place. In one day, we climbed several mountains, up and down and up and down, only with a hope that we can offer unique angles for photography and soul-touching experience for our customers.
This is just the way we do our work – striving to check out every itinerary that we recommend to our clients, in order to ensure the quality and standard of our services!
