Amazing Hunan with an Excellent Guide!

We had an amazing trip through Changsha, Wulingyuan, Changde, and Fenghuang! Paul, our guide, was fantastic—super friendly, knowledgeable, and made everything so easy for us. We got to see the stunning Avatar-inspired pillars, explore the ancient streets in Fenghuang, and take in jaw-dropping views from the mountains. Paul helped us with everything, from transport to finding the best places to eat. The whole trip was so well-organized, and the hotels were really comfortable. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend!
