Dear Tony Meng,
My wife, and I have just returned from our exciting side trip to Pingyao for the weekend we spent in Beijing. We have received the most dedicated and professional service from our guide - Mr. Allen Cai and also from the professional driver - Mr.Wang. I cannot speak too highly of the service provided together with the accommodation. My fears about the accommodation in Pingyao was totally unfounded. I found the accommodation in Pingyao is fantastic! It is very comfortable and the service was also very good.
Best personal regards,
