Much to my dismay, I attended the show which was fantastic - don't get me wrong! and then went to dinner, by myself, in an empty restaurant. Awkward. The guide was friendly but didn't really generate conversation nor talk about the areas we were driving through. He spent most of the time in the van talking in Mandarin to the driver. If others had attended, this would have been a great tour. Unfortunately,…”
