The driver was the absolute best. The product states you would get a shuttle bus to (only) the Shapotou desert area, but luckily this was not the case. Our driver took us by car through Inner Mongolia to another much less crowded and beautiful part of the Tengger Desert. On the way we stopped to view parts of the mausoleums and the great Ming Wall. Driver was best in service, friendly, and curious. Very very kind and friendly. Best experience in China so far!
