Hobby
Traveling & Photography are the most interesting things for me, both of them can done during the same time. I can say love taking photos so love traveling. Main reason for travelling is enjoyment and pleasure of ourselves. Travelling provides us positive energy to live happily. Without travelling, we feel boring in life. Being part of the photography community can be very supportive. Sharing your passion with other people around the world, who speak your language, understand your challenges, and have had similar experiences can very helpful.


My Story
I have been taking tourists around China for a few western tour companies between 2004 and 2011. During this time, I bought my first camera and then I fell in love with taking pictures. The magnificent views, the impressive persons, and especially the memorable moments with my guests gave me a fantastic memery. I got my China National tour guide license since 2002 and became one of the members of Sichuan provincial photographers' association.

In order to spend more time with my family, I decieded to work in Chengdu city as a local guide and photographer 5 years ago. I have been most of the places of Chengdu, especially the poor, backward and minority areas, for both groups and pictures. All these built me a passion to Chengdu and I really want to show it to the visitors. On the other hand, after 10 years working with the foreigners, I knew what you want to see, Real China life, but not just the morden cement forests. I will share my working experience in the Panda Base with you when we visit there and some other famous spots in and around Chengdu city.

In the past few years, i joined in several tour guide competition in Chengdu, I was awarded as the excellent tour guide of China in 2013. I also worked as a interpreter in some big international conferences in Chengdu and got the good feadback from my clients. All the experience are the precious in my life.


My Impression of Chengdu
Chengdu is one of the popular toursit destinations in China and famous for the cute giant panda, but there are still other interesting places should be visited when you travel to visit Chengdu. Chengdu is known for its laid-back pace and tea culture, and there is no better way to experience Chengdu's relaxed way of life than by strolling through Renmin Park and drinking a cup of jasmine tea in one of its teahouses, while watching the local people chatting and having fun.

Within the downtown area of Chengdu, Wenshu Temple deserves a visit for its beautiful, well-preserved architecture and tranquil garden. Kuaizhai Alley and Jinli Cultural Street are two interesting and historic pedestrian streets, where you can try some local Sichuan snacks, shop for souvenirs, and people watch. A little farther away from the city center, the fascinating Jinsha Site Museum offers history buffs an interesting glimpse into the exotic ancient Shu Kingdom that existed from 1200 BCE to 650 BCE in the Chengdu area.
