For centuries, travelers to China have told tales of magical landscapes. Through my
role as a local travel specialist, I get to introduce the magical landscapes and customs of China with people from all over the world.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"We at Merry travel pride ourselves on having a deep knowledge of the whole of China. I specialize in classic tours that are ideal for first-time travelers to China. I enjoy combining the highlights with more unique experiences in Chinese culture, history, and daily life."
How did you get involved in travel?
"When I was a college student, I found my love for travel. It's not only a way of life but also brings me freedom psychically and spiritually. Traveling with the people we love always leaves me with wonderful memories I'll cherish for life. What's more, when traveling, we get to meet and share ideas with people whose lives are different from ours."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"When it comes to a unique travel experience I will never forget, I still remembered my first trip to Xian with my loved one. On the way to terra cotta, it suddenly started raining and became very cold. The changeable weather surprised us completely left us unprepared. We chose to let it go and carry on as usual. In the evening, the rain stopped and we found a beautiful garden which was like a fairyland to me. It was so beautiful after the rain and I felt free and relaxed in spite of the cold and rain."
