Because it was raining, I was worried that transportation would be difficult, and I found this tour group at the last minute. It was very cost-effective and could be booked a few hours in advance. There were many places to visit, and the tour guide Lee introduced them in both Chinese and English, which brought convenience and happiness to the tight schedule.★

Thanks to our tour guide, Ms. Wang Ting, who was so nice when we brought our baby with us. We also want to thank the Japanese driver for helping us carry the stroller.
You can choose your own way to explore each attraction during the itinerary. We chose a leisurely pace with our baby, and the rides between attractions were short. My daughter loved the Baumkuchen factory, a place everyone doesn't see often. We spent quite a while there, and it was great for taking photos.
Traveling with a tour group was much more convenient and cheaper than taking our own transportation!★

Reviews: Kyoto Sanzen-in Arashiyama 1-day tour [Scenic Railway, Bamboo Forest Path, Tenryu-ji Temple, Togetsukyo Bridge] Maple Leaves Viewing
Guest User2025-07-03
The trip to Lushan + Sanqianyuan booked this time was great. Traveling with a baby, there was almost 37 degrees of high temperature that day, and at least 3-4 degrees was lower in the Sanqianyuan. The three thousand yards were full of green eyes, and many people were posing there. There are many more people in Lushan than 3,000 courtyards. It is recommended to have lunch here. Many restaurants only accept cash. Remember to bring cash. Children with children are best to book the tickets for Lushan trains in advance. The customer service of the root travel agency asks what time it is more convenient to book. The small train travel time is 1 hour. We also saw someone drifting from the small train, but there is no time. Come next time. The tour guide Liu Ling wants to say in particular, the car is very enthusiastic to explain to everyone, before the train time, he also took everyone to the station, the small train came back and presented the children Lushan small refrigerator stickers.★
