I am a very open-minded and happy person, have been a tour guide for 20years, meeting friends from all over the world. I like travelling, it makes me humble, and greatly opens my eyes. I really enjoy sharing with my guests about my city, my country with an easy and humorous way. Personally I do a lot of reading and study about Chinese history,culture and phylosophy,so I can share quite a lot of meaningful and inspiring information with my guests. I have guided all kinds of guests in my career life, including the Prime Minister of Slovenia, Governor of Johor , as well as all different delegations. So I know the need of different guests and provide them the best service that they can have.
