About Me – Amy Xiao Hello and welcome! I am Amy, a nationally licensed English-speaking guide with a passion for sharing the real China with travelers from around the world. I graduated with a degree in English and hold the Professional English Test Band 8 (TEM-8). I began my career in tourism in 2011, and for the past 1 years I have been designing and guiding private, customized tours for international guests from Southeast Asia, Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and beyond. My expertise covers Chengdu and its surrounding regions, as well as Chongqing, Yunnan, Beijing, Xi’an, Zhangjiajie, and more. I specialize in creating meaningful journeys that go beyond the typical tourist trail—whether it is a family-friendly panda adventure, a multi-generational slow-paced city walk, or an in-depth cultural immersion featuring tea ceremonies, traditional Chinese medicine, and local handicrafts. I also arrange business delegations, academic study tours, and technology or AI-themed educational programs. What sets me apart is my commitment to authentic experiences. I avoid shopping stops and rushed schedules. Instead, I design flexible itineraries that match your pace and interests, with plenty of time to taste local food, meet local people, and discover hidden corners that most visitors never see. I am especially experienced in caring for elderly guests and young children, ensuring safety, comfort, and joy for every member of your family. Behind the scenes, I handle all the logistics— high-speed train tickets, hotel bookings, and entrance reservations—so you can relax and enjoy your journey. My goal is simple: to help you fall in love with China, one unforgettable day at a time. I look forward to meeting you and creating a truly personal travel experience together.
