Picked up as promised at 8am from hotel. Took several attempts ( 6 or 7 I recall) to contact ChinaTour to organise pick up the night before until I got one of their opertators.
I booked a private tour, as I wanted to see as much as possible through the day without waiting for others. The tour lasted until 7pm when I was dropped off at my hotel. A good long day with a guide and driver to myself.
Due to the national Chinese holiday the traffic was atrocious (not the tour or the guides fault, so I have not considered that in my scoring). At the Jade factory/shop we hung around there for sometime, while the guide continually looked at her watch. Not sure what she was waiting for as i was long ready to move on as I wasn\'t interested in buying anything. In the end of the tour we stopped at a tea ceremony after which I was taken round the tea shop. When I said I wasn\'t going to buy anything then we left the shop.
Guide wasn\'t very good in taking photos, as evident in the attached picture. I had no choice but to delete most from my phone.
