What places and activities do you specialize in?
"My expertise covers a wide range of destinations in China include Beijing, Xi’an,Shanghai, Chengdu, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing, Yangtze River, Huangshan and etc., as well as remote areas like Tibet, Silk Road, Inner Mongolia and Yunnan.
I specialize in planning tours for couples with romantic experiences, such as a private boat ride, a romantic dinner in a secluded location or trying authentic Chinese cuisine or relaxing activities like spa treatments and couples' massage.
As a boy's mom, I am good at planning family tours with children. I know how to choose family-friendly destinations and pick the right accommodation that fits that whole family. When planning the itinerary, I always make sure to include a mix of cultural, educational, and recreational activities that will make all family members happy and spend quality time together. Their travel style is my another big consideration when planning, such as whether they prefer a relaxed pace or a more fast-paced itinerary. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"I was born in Guilin, a beautiful city in southern China known for its stunning natural scenery, including picturesque mountains and rivers. Growing up in Guilin, I developed a deep appreciation for the beauty and wonder of the nature. And I enjoy sharing that love with others by helping them plan trips to amazing destinations around the world.
My first job was a local tour guide. In this role, I can share my knowledge, expertise, and personal experiences with travelers, and help them gain a deeper understanding of the places they visit.
I changed my role from a local tour guide to a travel advisor, as I wished to have more opportunities to connect with travelers from different parts of the world and help them discover the beauty and richness of my country's culture, history, and natural wonders. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"One unique travel experience that comes to my mind was the time when I visited mysterious Tibet. During my visit to Tibet, I had the opportunity to stay with a local Tibetan family for a few days.
The family lived in a traditional Tibetan house, which was made of stone with a flat roof. The interior of the house was decorated with beautiful Thangkas (traditional Tibetan paintings) and prayer flags, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
What impressed me most was when I could participate in their daily activities. I helped the family with cooking and cleaning, and even got to milk their yaks! It was an incredible experience to learn about their way of life and be a part of their daily routine.
Another unforgettable experience was the opportunity to be exposed to the family's religious beliefs and practices. They were devout Buddhists, and I was able to witness their daily prayer rituals and even participated in a meditation session with them.
Overall, my stay with this local Tibetan family was an unique and enriching travel experience. I will never forget the warmth and hospitality that they showed me, and the opportunity to learn about their culture and way of life. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will always cherish."
