The guide was very helpful. She spoke 10 minutes while we were travelling, collected the money for the cableway (which was not included in the amount we had paid; it costed 50 yuan one way. It was theoretically possible to walk, but if we had done so, we wouldn’t have had enough time to join the guide again). She joined us again later, but didn’t give us any more information later. 3) We had some time to visit the rice terraces (we needed a lot of time to queue for the cableway) 4) Lunch: typical Chinese food. It was shared, abundant portions and an average quality. Negative aspect: despite the amount we paid for the tour, no water was served, but only tea (a jug for seven people). 5) In my opinion it would be better to eliminate the part dedicated to the women with long hair 6) The driver picked up punctually. 7) the landscape is amazing and it is absolutely worth to visit the rice terraces...
