Today’s trip was so much fun! The tour guide Zheng Lulu was enthusiastic and responsible. She also introduced the stories of the attractions on the bus. It was really relaxing to have a Chinese tour guide. If I have the opportunity to come again in the future, I will choose this way again!

There were supposed to be three people in my class, but the other two didn’t show up so I got the amazing opportunity to have a private Ramen making class! I had so much fun and my teachers were so kind and warm. cherry on top was getting to eat Michelin star Ramen after helping make the noodles! I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in learning how to make Ramen.

The staff was helpful and attentive. The facilities were very good. The person who helped us spoke English partially, but made himself understood. The sweets were delicious. They give you the ingredients already prepared, basically so you can put them together yourself.
