Hello all my dear friends! "Ni Hao!" Welcome to China and Welcome to Beijing! My name is Alice. I'm not only a licensed tour guide but also eager to give you a wonderful trip! I am a certified intermediate-level English Tour Guide with over 15 years of professional experience in the tourism industry. My Chinese name it means double red. The meaning of the color red in China is good luck and happiness. So I hope our trip will be a wonderful and happy tour. I graduated from Beijing Normal University, and my major is English. I have been a tour guide since 2009. When I become a tour guide I have took part in many important events to give me a deep impression. I took part in the Beijing APEC Conference in 2014 to receive the delegations that come from Cambodia. I took part in the ceremony is the 70th Anniversary of the Founding of The People's Republic of China. During these years, I have guided many groups to Shanghai, Xi'an, Suzhou, Hangzhou, the Three Georges, and so on. I try my best to help all the travelers in my group, such as to help them to take the train or plane, to take assist with their food, life habit, the rooms of hotel. I'm familiar with these popular cities in China very well. In addition, I have traveled to Europe , Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Korea, and so on. I like history very much. Beijing is a city over 3000 years old and is one of the oldest civilization countries in the world. Every dynasty has their stories. I wished to share all my stories about this city with you. There is a saying which says "if the wall could speak". When we go to the Great Wall, it will be a strong feeling in our heart. How did the laborers build Wall in 2000 years ago in that hard environment? If the wall in the Forbidden City could be talk, it will tell you the stories of emperors. If the wall in the old city could talk, it will talk to you about local people's life, and the real culture in China. Now, I will be the "old wall in Beijing". I want to show you the beautiful places and tell you the stories of Beijing. What happened here in the past 3000 years. Beijing is the capital of China. It not only has tourist's places, but also a profound cultural connotation in here. For example, the Kongfu show, the acrobatic show or enjoy a tea ceremony in the peaceful afternoon. If you are interested in history, the Great Wall of China, the Forbidden City, all the scenic spots of Beijing, the real China or the local people's life, please come to Beijing and do not hesitate to contact me! I'm looking forward to seeing you in Beijing! No messy schedules, no hidden hassles—just pure Beijing magic, one amazing stop at a time. Let’s go!
