Changi Airport - 5/5
Free wifi, comfortable, signboards everywhere, no queue, toilet is very clean.
Flight (SQ836) - 4/5
Too cold, food was fine only, quite pleasant ride, entertainment, movies are updated. Service was pretty good, as the air stewardess would service you as soon as you ask for them. The flight was also really smooth, primarily the reason we rated 4.
-DAY 1-
Rayfront hotel - 3/5
Dim lighting, window in the toilet, quite small, drain got clogged.
High-speed rail - 4/5
Quite spacious, very fast, toilets were quite clean. Seats were also comfortable for people to enjoy a good rest on the train before their destination.
Sanhe Guzhen - 2/5
Historical things were not maintained, dirty. It was also very dusty in several residences there, would not recommend people that have sensitive skin to visit, there are also live sea creatures such as oysters, eels being captured and put on the outside of the shops on the floor. May be revolting to some people.
-DAY 2-
Holiday Inn Express Hefei South - 4/5
Food was good, big room for us to do reflections, minimart, toilets were clean. Food was decent.
Hefei 45 Middle school - 2/5
Classrooms were too cram, toilets were really dirty and stinky ,and have no doors, not much ventilation in the classrooms. Too many students in a class, which may not allow the teacher to be able to take care of every single student.
-DAY 3-
Anhui Museum - 5/5
Good tour guide, a lot of information on Anhui, good security, toilets were clean, miniature of many buildings in Anhui. Place looks new and very clean.
China Intangible Cultural Heritage Park - 1/5
The shows there all included animal abuse (ostrich, horse and dog race, chicken fighting and circus show where they hit the lions and tiger with a metal rod), it was a new experience as not many people are able to have entered a circus, however the animals were not only abused but were not well trained for the performance, nothing to learn about, the place was beautiful though.
-DAY 4-
Cable car (that could include about 100 people) - 2/5
Big, very cram, fit as many people before they move on.
Huangshan Scenic Area - 5/5
Weather was good, beautiful scenery, one in a lifetime experience, clean, tiring and exhausting but worth the climb. Was able to watch the mesmerizing sunrise which was at around 4-5, it was simply beautiful.
Beihai hotel - 2/5
Small, bad ventilation, food was ok only, minimart, wifi only in the lobby. Not all hotel rooms are able to be accessed by the lift. For ours, we weren't able to have the chance to use the lift and we had to climb the stairs, would be hard for older people to walk up the stairs if they had such rooms.
-DAY 5-
Xidi and Hongcun Ancient Villages - 3/5
Pretty alike. However, the guides at these villages are very informative. They explain to you the significant points of how and why the furniture were placed that way. Xidi has a beautiful scenery of a lake and a bridge in the middle of it. But it was pretty dusty at both places, probably due to not enough care taken of these places.
Chinese Culture seminars @ 中国三大地域文化之一徽文化的起源及传承 - 4.5/5
Very interesting, very detailed.However, was pretty shocked at the incorrect population of Singapore repeatedly being shared. Not for the slight incorrect data, we would definitely want to give it a 5/5.
-DAY 6-
Tunxi Ancient Street - 3/5
Not a lot of things to buy, most shops sells the same things, interesting things that are not sold in Singapore, many souvenirs to buy. Sells some tidbits, self made ones, that are mostly not found in other places. As Tunxi Ancient Street does not have any signboards, that gives directions to visitors, people may get lost there. Would be good to see signboards or directories in the future.
West Lake Cruise - 3/5
Cooling, good ventilation, open seats at the rear of the boat gives a good view,you would get to enjoy a gentle breeze; but life jackets were really dirty.
Yue Fei Mausoleum - 3/5
A lot of people when we went that day, so it's quite packed and difficult to keep up with the guide. Although it was said that Yeu Fei was buried in his tomb here, some debated that his body might not actually be here.
Shanghai airport - 3/5
Variety of food, pretty hard to find places, as not many signboards to direct us,big, spacious,many seats for us to wait for plane.
Flight (SQ825) - 4/5
Plane was quite spacious, food was quite good, service was good (although there was no entertainment but they made up for it).
