About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Teddyohp0 contributionsClean hotel and beautifully decorated restaurantAlthough English is not well spoken by mostly all the hotel personnels, overall I experience my stay at the Kukhterin Hotel at Tomsk, Siberia nice. The room is spacious and clean to all the hotel area. The heater works well although the outside temperature was around 0-7 centigrade in the evening to morning time. The dining room is nicely decorated which is always ready to take guests who are not staying. However, the meals were limited with mostly the salad leaves were not fresh. Overall staying was nice. Improvement is obviously needed: the personnels needs training to smile and be friendly😃Written September 29, 2024

Luoyang was a true hidden gem on our travels through China! We found it to be a beautiful and very interesting city that compares to Xi’an for its rich culture and historical monuments, as well as its incredible natural beauty.
We spent a day touring the Longmen Grottoes viewing Buddha cave carvings dating back to the Northern Wei and Tang dynasties with the earliest being from 478 AD. These were exquisite and really well preserved despite being over 1500 years old.
We also visited the original Shaolin Buddhist Temple located in the Shaolin Mountains near Luoyang. This is the birthplace of Shaolin Kung Fu, and the warrior monks have a special place in Chinese history dating back to around 500AD. To this day Shaolin Temple continues to operate as both a traditional monastery and a Kung Fu academy. One of the best meals of the trip was our vegetarian lunch at Shaolin Temple.
Our local Louyang tour guide Cherry was amazing! She provided us with expert knowledge on the history and culture of the areas we visited. She was so patient and kind with us, always giving thoughtful answers to our many complex questions. She was an exceptional English speaker and a brilliant guide. This was one of our favorite days on our China trip and we were so happy to spend it with one of our favorite guides!
