Beijing Personal Tour Guide © - Why see Beijing as a tourist, when you can be a guest?
Welcome to my site www.tourguide.name!
My name is David Zhang. I am an experienced professional tour guide, introducing tourists of many nationalities to China and its wonders since 2001. I\'m also trying to promote China through this website launched in 2006. Whether you\'re visiting Beijing or just interested, you can have an idea about our country scrolling through the pages.
On this site I explain Beijing\'s history, tourist sites, regions, culture and Buddisim, the religion of most Chinese.All the major cities are covered, including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen,Hongkong and others. I also introduce such important figures as Puyi,Qinshihuang,Mao,Deng and premier and chairman of the People\'s Republic of China. Other sections detail China\'s holidays and fairs, events calendar, national ethnic cultural parks, archaeological sites, food, art, architecture, folklore, skiing, even horse riding!
About Me
I\'m a licensed tour guide in English with an experience in arranging private and regular tours individually designed for tourists and business people for over 5 years. I was born in Xinjiang in 1976 and love this city and China more than any other place in the world, which is why I chose to be a guide in this ancient city after living Xinjiang for several years. I enjoy sharing my love and knowledge of this magical, lively, and unique country with a great passion.
I studied and earned my associate degree in Tourism at the University of Beijing International Studies University. Then I went to a special course made by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Beijing and at the end passed a strict exam on art, archaeology, history, geography and law, earning my tour guide license. Apart of continuous studies and updates of the history and culture of China, every year I follow professional seminars regarding the travel business and guiding. You can read my detailed Resume as well.
I collaborate with other guides as well for many other languages, all licensed by the Government too, who I\'ve chosen not only based on their deep knowledge of China, but also for their warmth and communication skills. My professional aim is based on helping a foreign guest discover China as you would with a trusted Chinese friend. You may prefer private guided tours for families and small groups in order to get a better service, flexible itineraries, and tailor-made at the most comfortable pace.
All of my travel services are coordinated with licensed local Tour Operators and are based on guests\' satisfaction rather than a commercial activity. My main concern is to make my guest comfortable and pass him/her all the knowledge I have on my country in order to promote China and gain another "goodwill ambassador" abroad. Because this kind of service would be the one that I\'d look when I travel, viewing from a "tourist" eye.
Because of the many archaeological sites and the difficulty/difference of the Chinese language, if you\'re planning a visit to China it would be a good idea to hire services of an official professional tour guide who speaks your language and has a very deep knowledge of his heritage.
Many tours can be arranged in China, there are very good land and air connections between the cities and historical sites. You will find some example itineraries of major routes in the Tours page. Apart of the ones written there, so many custom made itineraries can also be arranged upon your request.
Now, please enjoy my website and discover China, feel free to send me your feedback or questions info@tourguide.name. I hope to see you in this beautiful country of ours.
