What travelers say:

I have been to the Temple of Heaven many times, and I listened to the tour guide for the first time. Wang Hongliang explained the witty humor and learned a lot of history and interesting things I didn't know before in the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Wang Dao's character is the Beijing flavor of the round, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties have retained the intact building. I am very satisfied with a group tour.
