The Buick GL8 was spacious, and driver Zhang, a local, took us to a wild flower sea away from crowds, helped bargain for local products, and there were no forced shopping stops. The kids had a blast!”

“We chose high-end customization with drone and photographer. The sunset photos from Nalati went viral on social media! Accommodation was upgraded to boutique guesthouses. Though pricier than regular tours, the experience was worth it!”
