Pearl Market (Hongqiao Market) Tours and Tickets - page 2

This is a great experience! The tour guide Jerry made this tour very memorable. Why? He was funny. No pressure. Left it to us at one stage in the tour to suggest what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. He said 'your're on holiday. No rush. Take it easy". The private car picked us up from the hotel on time. There were 3 of us. My wife and I and Jerry. The market tour was ok. Took us to an old antique market and an old popular chinese market where they sold jade and other ornaments. We told Jerry we were keen to see some watches, handbags and clothing. He took us to the right market. Huge place. The highlight of the tour was the amazing acrobatic show in the Red Theatre. The acrobats were incredible and the finale was worth waiting for. Very talented acrobats! Then came the Peking Duck dinner. It was the best Peking duck we've ever had. The ambience was great. Amazing and tasty food. Jerry knows how to pick the right restaurants. We only paid once which included the acrobatic show and the dinner which included other dishes as well. We had cauliflower done in a way I had not tasted before. It was delicious. We also had Kong Po Chicken which was very delicious and local beer in addition to the duck. He gave us a demo of how to prepare the Peking duck. It was a great 6 hrs to spend. We were then dropped off at the hotel at around 6.30pm. Stuffed and happy. Very relaxing day and great fun, laughter and food. I would strongly recommend it.
