I’m always keen to show off China – from its natural beauty to its historical and cultural heritage and delicious food. With great patience and attention, I listen to and understand the exact requirements of each tourist. I work alongside the local travel experts in different parts of China to give you trusted advice and the best that this ancient nation has to offer.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"We can help you create any type of adventure in China. Our specialities include hiking, cycling, photography, and visits to the rural areas in Southwest China including Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Sichuan. We can also help you plan trips to the rest of China, and customize a trip that suits your needs."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I was born in Guilin, a famous tourist city in China, so I guess I was born with some travel gene. I am lucky enough to be a travel consultant of Guilin Cycling Tours, which allows me to integrate my passion for traveling into my work. I enjoy sharing my knowledge of China and Chinese culture with travelers. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"My favorite destination is Tibet, a holy place of mystery. It is a place I always look forward to, and that I would like to visit again."

48hours in xian, china, China - Dec 26 - Dec 28, 2018
As a picky and non-speaking Mandarin traveller, I did spend some time searching for the right guide for our Xian trip.
Fortunately, I found KimKim website by chance.
With some basic itinerary in mind already, I emailed KimKim my inquiry to which Max promptly replied within 24 hours. Right after, Max arranged for Eric, our designated local Xian guide, to touch base with me.
Although using the KimKim app was sufficient, I would definitely recommend using the WeChat app as well, which I used... read more

Our trip to china to celebrate our 25th weddind anniversary, China - Oct 10 - Oct 23, 2018
Max, the local specialist, did an outstanding job planning our two week tour through China. We moved around alot during the two weeks (planes, trains, boats, etc) and everything went smoothly. We were always met by local tour guides who ALL did a fantastic job showing us around China. Max put together a fantastic itinerary and even called us in China to make sure everything was going well. We will definately use KimKim again for future travels. (This will be our second trip using KimKim - my family visited Iceland in the summer of 2017). Iceland trip was outsanding too.
Hi Marianne,
Thank you kindly for your review! It was my pleasure to organize your trip and I'm delighted that you had an amazing time in China.
All the best for your future travels!

China - beijing to shanghai, China - Aug 24 - Sep 12, 2018
We had 20 days in China booked but no time to plan the actual trip so we asked Max from kimkim to choose and book the whole trip for us. We mentions that we are fit and like to walk and want to spend extra time on the Great Wall of China and that we like to experience local activities. Max organised a most amazing tour around China for us, starting in Beijing and ending in Shanghai - exactly to our wishes and needs. The visiting to the Great Wall of China was amazing, we walked in a secluded... read more

First time family trip to china, China - Jul 28 - Aug 8, 2018
This was an amazing first trip to China for our family. KimKim, Max, and our local guides really took the heavy lifting and stress out of planning our family trip to a destination unfamiliar to us.
Max was quick to respond to our initial enquiry, worked closely with us to build an itinerary tailored to our interests, and stayed in touch with our guides throughout the trip. The itinerary details were clear and well thought-out. A helpful contact list gave us additional guidance on things... read more
