China Local culture Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Local culture China tours
Kraig Anderson | Traveled in February
China is a multi-ethnic country, especially in the southwest of China, where there are many ethnic minorities. This exploration tour of China's ethnic minorities has made me more aware of their culture and customs. They have their own language, their own traditional clothing, their own eating habits and special marriage customs, and so on. It is really colorful! I like this kind of real travel and recommend it to you.
Yvonne Lee | Traveled in February
