Trip feedback
"We had a really great trip to the Red Sandstone Mountains in Wuyi County.The bus ride is long, but worth it for the peace and tranquility of the area. I am sad we never got to go to the top of the cliffs, maybe next time. The food was really well thought out for us Westerners and the accommodation was great. I also enjoyed the Hot Springs.The village on day 2 was worthwhile and was a bit different to other villages I have seen.Fly was a very accommodating guide and I always enjoy these trips" - Chris Perks
"This is my first hiking trip out of England and it was fabulous. The scenery that Wuyi has to offer is breathtaking. The guide,Fly is fluent in English and knowledgeable about historical events and customs. The small group of mature expatriates also made the trip a memorable one because we could exchange our adventures of assimilation into Chinese culture and boy did we have a lot to share! The visit to the hot springs was interesting, a must try at least one event. Accommodation though modest was good and appropriate for the group. Eating food the locals made was a culinary delight! I would highly recommend travelling with this company as they seem to have a knack for preparing for all individual needs of the outdoor traveler. I can't wait for the next trip.Thank you Fly and our driver for an amazing weekend." - Alison Hall
