8.Qixianfeng Tea Plantation Tour in Yangshuo

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 4 reviews · 3 hours · from $79

“Plantation itself is really great! Bad communication from tour agency though, no actual service from the agency other than ordering a car. In our case more than an hour late (due to bad traffic) but bad communication about it („be there in 10mins…“) Better to book the plantation tour directly with the plantation and get a DiDi - much easier and cheaper.”
