Mary Ma,
Thank you for your wonderful assistance in making my trip to Inner Mongolia one of the most amazing events of my life. I have been on private tours before but none any better than yours. You coordinated everything perfectly.
Everything was as good as possible. I am so glad we went to Inner Mongolia. That was the most wonderful part of the trip even though I had difficulty with the weather and food there. The guide, Susan I think, was the very best. The driver was very professinal and helpful. Thank you!

It is also named Green Tomb because it is said each year when the weather get colder, other grass becomes yellow and withered, while only the grass on this tomb remains green.
