Wa alaikum assalaam Hanna,
 
The tour was excellent, it was very well planned. It was great to be able to see so many sights within just 7 days. I would suggest not including Urumqi Meiyu Hotel in the itinerary - it was an awful hotel. It was dirty (there were leftover French fries and some type of food on the floor when I walked in to the hotel room). The Sunworld Hotel is also a difficult hotel to stay at - it took 30  - 40 min to check in and check out both nights that we stayed in Beijing. Otherwise, it is in a good location as it allows one to do some shopping. The hotel in Kashgar was the best of them all - an excellent hotel. I only wish we had had a little more time in Kashgar. The tour guides in each city were great, especially Abdul Wahab in Kashgar and Shan Lei in Urumqi/Turpan.
 
Thanks,
 
Nabiha

Thanks for the feedback and for your suggestion. We will remove Urumqi Meiyu Hotel from our list and we will not use hotel in the future for other travelers. As for the Sunworld Hotel Beijing, we have sent your message to their sales manager and hopefully they will improve their service. Beijing Sunworld Hotel is located right in the heart of Beijing and quite close to Dongsi Mosque and it is a super value hotel in terms of location and price.
 
We are looking forward to your next China trip.
 
Johan

To our Dear Friend Valon,  It gives us great pleasure to write to you Valin. A month ago we did not know you existed and you too did not know us. It was our great fortune to visit your great country, with its rich civilization dating back to more than 5000 years. You were always our brother, now a brother in faith too, that makes us closer. As you step into the new way of life and learning about faith, you will be surprised and enriched by it. Take it easy, and take care. The stories you told us of the kings and queens who ruled over your country are no different from other kings and queens of other countries. Every single one of us loved the people of China,their simplicity, smartness and sheer beauty of their hearts and easy manner. You stole our hearts with your straightforwardness. Much to learn from you. Our journey has just started, may it be a long journey of happiness and fulfillment.
 
We look forward to meeting you in America, InshaAllah.  
 
Amanath Jalal

As-salam Johan,
 
Apologies for the late reply as I was too preoccupied with the existing workload.
 
To sum up, my friends and I are very pleased and contented with the services provided by your good office. Ms. Lulu,  the tour guide was very much of an assistance. Not only she rendered all the serviced required, she was also willing to help us out accommodating to our needs. For instance, she had accompanied us to the Fake Market at the Muslim Quarter vicinity and helped us out to bargain the goods at a very fair price. Ms. Lulu’s vast knowledge on Xi’an’s history and environment are very impressive. She has a good command of English as well. During our stay in Xi’an, we have developed a form of friendship with Ms. Lulu as she has taken care and concerned of us quite well.
 
As for our driver, we have no complaints nor qualms at all against him. As he is generally a quiet and reserved person, we still feel comfortable with his presence. Like Ms. Lulu, he has also catered to our needs even it was outside his job scope. This is evident by the trip to the Tang Dynasty show.  Nevertheless, the massive traffic and “skillful” driving styles of the Xi’an people has a resemblance of Beijing’s. But I guess that is somehow normal in China.
 
As for Xi’an City Hotel, its strategic and convenient location has really eased our trip especially our never ending back and forth to the Muslim Quarter. The room is spacious and beds are comfy. However, the breakfast spread didn’t provide us with much choice as it was not entirely of halal meals. We just settled down with drinks and bread/mantou and fruits just to keep us going until lunch.
 
Lucky for us, during our entire tour, we were brought to an exclusive/high end Halal restaurants for lunches and dinners. The meals were ordered by Ms. Lulu and we really enjoyed them until every last bite with the exception of the Sichuan pepper meals.  We feel that the package of USD288 per pax was worth and value for money.
 
As for you Mr. Johan, we would like to thank you for arranging this wonderful trip for us. We have gained plenty of knowledge and impressed by the ancient history and civilization. The whole experience is mesmerizing and valuable. We have recommended to our family and friends and looking forward to visiting Xi’an again. Insya Allah.
 
For and behalf of Nor Zabetha, Siti Sazila, Nor Shazlina, Suzana Fazreen and Norlirani,

Salaam Johan & IslamiChina team,
 
I just came back from the tour a few days ago and firstly I just want to say Thank you personally to Johan for making all the necessary arrangement for my recent ICT012 tour to Beijing, Xian and Shanghai. I really enjoyed the tour very much. Here are my feedback on the tour packages:
 
1) Beijing
 
a. Tourguide - Vicky.
Vicky is very friendly & helpful. She is knowledgeable not only on the tour places but also on Islamic sensitivities. She even suggested me some additional things to do on my free time outside the itinerary (at my own expenses of course) such as the acrobatic performance. She gave me options on the Great Wall locations and let me decide the gate for us to climb. She had all the entrance ticket ready so we didn’t waste any time. This is very good service that she is providing. I am happy with Vicky.
 
b. Hotel accommodation - Taishun Hotel
The hotel is pretty far from nearest Metro subway station and any other attractions or shopping malls. The only positive point on the hotel is that it offers Halal Food. There is no safety box nor fridge.
 
c. Tour places.
Vicky relooked at my itinerary and suggested some changes to better manage the time. This is very good indeed because she is in a better place to know where everything is nearby located to be grouped into one day. She selected good & delicious halal restaurants.
 
2) Xian
 
a. Tourguide – Sally.
Sally is a nice lady and knowledgeable about the history of Xian as well as China as a whole. Even though she has never handled a muslim tour before, she asked for my advise on food and prayer times. She even introduced me to local Xian delicacies like the sticky rice stick, pomegranate cake, rose steamed rice and the biang biang noodle at her own expenses. She is very flexible in having additional itinerary such as climbing the City Wall (additional charge on my own) to make sure my trip is complete. The only thing is that she needs to pre-determine the eating Halal places so that we don’t have to choose last minute Halal places.
 
b. Hotel accommodation – Xian City Hotel
The hotel is in town and near to Metro subway station. Very good amenities & location. Recommended.
 
c. Tour places.
Sally followed my itinerary and flexible to accommodate any additional as long as time permits.
 
3) Shanghai
 
a. Tourguide – Cici.
Cici has a bubbly personality and knowledgeable about the places in Shanghai. She accompanied me up to the entrance of the river cruise to make sure I am OK (because a lot of local Chinese tourists). My suggestion for Cici is to purchase the ticket in advance instead of buying them when we are there at the place. (because she knows my itinerary).
 
b. Hotel accommodation – Holiday Inn Express Hotel
The hotel is new and very strategic locations to both Metro subway station and shopping malls. Recommended.
 
c. Tour places.
Cici brought me to all the places as planned and advise me on the timing. She even helped me to bargain on some of the souvenirs that I bought.
 
Overall, I am happy with the service that had been provided to me. Here I attached some photos of the tour.
 
Thank you Johan and thank you IslamiChina.
 
Regards,
 
Iskandar
