Hello! Dear friends from afar! Welcome to visit my bio! My English name is robin. I was born in 1979 in dunhuang city of gansu province of China. I have been a tour guide for 16 years. It is my great honor to show you something about China Silk Road Tour via this website. I am so proud of being one of tourism workers in Dunhuang of China, which is compared as a brilliant pearl on the ancient silk road. Dunhuang played an important role on the ancient silk road, where the four cultural systems of the world(Chinese, Indian, Greek, Islamic cultures) converge . As the tourism is developing, Dunhuang is becoming more and more famous and familiar to the whole world. The First Silk Road Dunhuang International Cultural Expo was held in Dunhuang in September of 2016. The Expo will be held annually in Dunhuang since 2016. The government pays more attention to develop tourism. Abundant tour resources and perfect tourists facilities are all here. I love this job very much. As a guide besides good English oral skills, I have acquired important and relevant working experience during my career, I have been to numerous cities on China's main Silk Road, including Xi'an, Tianshui, Lanzhou, Xining, Yinchuan, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jia Yuguan, Turpan, Urumqi, Kuqa, Yarkent, Hotan, Kashgar, and Tashkurgan. I know which places are really worthy of visiting. I know what tourists want to see. I am full of great confidence to help you arrange valuable trips along the silk road in China. While working as a tour guide, I met ambassadors from Australia, Canada, Iceland, Malta, and Portugal to China. In 2008, I supported a group of famous singers and movie stars, led by Olivia Newton John. In that same year, I also guided a special group tour for the total eclipse of the sun. In August 2013, I was honoured to entertain Zoltan Somogyi, Executive Director of UNWTO, during the Sixth International Silk Road Tourism Conference being held at Dunhuang. I am so pleasant to show you around Dunhuang and the silk road in China by this chance. Come on! My dear friends! Fly to China to realize your dream of the silk road. Warmly and sincerely welcome you to my hometown. Join us! I would appreciate the chance to be your local guide. - Certified tour guide since 2005 - English-speaking tour guide certification from China National Tourism Administration I have driver license, but I will not drive by myself. I can provide good reservation of proper vehicles ,drivers, train tickets and hotels for your tour with excellent service and unbeatable price .
