| You can do this trip on your own booking the ferry
tickets and hotel online but it is would be more fun to organize your
own small group and hire a local English-speaking guide to greet you
upon arrival at the ferry terminal. CTS Shunde branch office
handles all the ground arrangements to visit the many sightseeing
spots in the Pearl River Delta. Tailor-made tours can be arranged
by specifying your travel date and group size to ctsdmd@ctshk.com
and the Customer Service staff of www.chinatravelOne.com
will provide a quotation with contract rates, based on individual
requirements or special interest.
|
| This is a new destination for foreigners to visit
and English is not yet widely spoken. There are a few guides with
limited English that can tell you the basics about the sights. Go
with an open attitude that this is more of an adventure to enjoy,
though you may not learn all the features of the sights. Observe all
that is happening around you and the local way of life so you can
return home and appreciate all your modern conveniences.
|
| If you encounter anyone begging, avoid giving
money because you may be suddenly besieged by others. It is better
to give donations at one of the many local temples that help the less
fortunate or a licensed charity.
|
| CTS selects facilities that practice good
hygiene and the restaurants we went to were all clean and modern.
Some public sightseeing spots may have older facilities so carry tissues
for personal use.
|
| The standard gratuity for a tour guide is RMB30
per person per day as a guideline and the tour guide will share this
equally with the driver.
