Dear Allan,
In a short delay I wish to give you a feedback about the trip we had in Beijing and Guilin: In Beijing we met Nancy, one of the best travel guides we have ever had. She was extremely friendly, supportive and helpful. She knew we have a big language barrier and made everything she could in order to make our stay in Beijing as pleasant as she could. She used to give us recommendations of where to eat in our spare time and even made an effort to write to us in Chinese helpful words as vegetarians etc. since we cannot eat meat.
As for her actual role as a travel guide she did everything to make the trip perfect: her English was very good. Very easy to communicate and understand her. From checking the status of traffic and amounts of visitors in each sites she knew how to reorganize the itinerary and recommend us where to go first and what to keep for last. And really, in most places the traffic was quite good and the visitors could have been much worse if she hadn’t done so. Most important than all we could visit every site from the itinerary and together with that have some time of our own. Please send her our regards and make sure you give her our good feedback for her excellent job!!! She should be your first choice when you need a perfect guide in Beijing.

Tips for hiking on the Great Wall
Recommended outfits: comfortable shoes or boots, water, snacks, sunscreen, sun-glasses, first aid kit, lip balm, cap, long pants with zip-off legs in summer rather than shorts.
Please prepare toilet paper by yourself before hiking and a carry it with you, as toilets are available only at the entrance of Jiankou, Mutianyu, Gubeikou, Jinshanling and Simatai.
You will be followed by local farmers during the hiking who wish to sell souvenirs. If you don’t like this, you must say NO or ignore them.
