New, large rooms, comfortable.

a bit older hotel already, but great location

It was a nice day, we loved the Victoria Peak, the tram ride, the Star ferry and the Mid level Escalator area; ideally we had bit more time in Central market and at Victoria Peak, We loved the dumpling and cream cake shops.

The nature at Zhangjiajie National Forest Park is fascinating, but the issue is the crowds and the noise they produce. One can't really feel the nature, a lot of tourist groups with guides with loud loudspeakers.

It was very interesting to go for dim sum to a place where locals go.

The Grand Canyon was better than the Great Forest Park - less crowded though busy. Walk in the Great canyon gorge was feeling more natural, and also the glass bridge, zip line and slide were fun for family, though very arranged. We missed the timing to catch the cable car to Tianmen mountain - here better time management through the day by the guide would be expected. If the crowds on Tianmen mountaing were as they were the day before in National forest park, then we would not like the experience. We suggest kimkim clarifies the guest preferences when planning for visiting nature parks so expectations are clear.

Really fascinating exhibition - both the warriors as well as chariots - both halls as well as the area around.

We really liked going to a home of a local person to see how people live. We liked the class and the lady preparing the good but have not really had time to work the whole preparation adn cooking process. ideally a longer cooking course is organized so some other meals could be prepared too.

Really impressive city wall and a nice bike ride around it. Fascinating to see girls and ladies taking photos in the old traditional costumes. As we went for a Tang dinasty show, we did not have time for a Shanxi museum.

Really nice to walk the Muslim quarter with all the food stalls and to see the puppet show. Having bit more time for trying food would be great.

The Forbidden city and the Tiananmen square are fascinating. Thanks to our guide Alice for getting us into the square really fast. Visit to hutong with small rishaw tour and a local food in one of the hutong dumpling places was great.

The Wall is great and a must see. We went to Juyongguan area of the wall as the traffic to Mutianye was very heavy due to public holiday; this was a bit closer and less busy. The guide and the agency were very flexible to move the trip for a day due to some health issues on our side, which we appreciated.

Great location. Room and facilities were fine.

Good location and nice property. Breakfast was adequate.

I guess the location was good, but the elevators were so bad they are the most memorable part of the stay, and not in a good way. Breakfast was so-so; very crowded and avg. food.

Nice countryside location, but no so convenient to the town. The room itself was nice w/ the balcony and large bathroom, but is dangerous, especially for older people who get up during the night. The bed on the floor doesn't help and the stairs down to the toilet are a fall hazard. Breakfast was the worst of all the properties. It was very small and boring.

Good location, good breakfast and nice toilet.

Didn't do this. Went to Jewish quarter instead. That was great.

So beautiful

Didn't take the train.

Great being there.

This originally didn't sound so exciting, but I loved it. Our warriors are on our bookshelf and are a fond memory of the experience.

The topography and scenery were amazing.

Wanted to ride bikes, but didn't have one small enough for my friend. We tried the tandem and then they couldn't raise the seat to accommodate me (and I'm only 5'5"). The bike rental people couldn't have cared less. We ended up walking and went to an adjacent park that was lovely. Jacob did a great pivot here.

Just like making the warriors, didn't sound exciting, but enjoyed it a lot and the food was great. I really like that Jacob had so many good relationships w/ the people we met.

Jenny at Cloud Nine was great. She made it fun and the food was tasty.

Loved it

Amazing location and busy street behind was fun to hang out at night!
