Nice very experienced
Well and smooth.
Ticket booking 8 days before visit was straightforward and confirmed promptly.
Good experience，main issue is that I had difficulty getting the ticket from the official site as this was summer Holiday month in China and tickets for bona fide travellers once released are quickly snapped out. I paid more but it's ok for the experience.
