I am a Bai woman born in Dali and living in Shaxi at the moment,Shaxi is a mountainous part of Yuannan Dali Prefecture with a deep history on the old tea horse road . My background is an part time English teacher and a vegetarian chef. I have extensive knowledge of Yunnan foods,people, and wild plants, as well as Bai culture. I have more than 5 years experience as a guide,Fixer and translator, taking journalists, photographers, researchers,and tourists all over Yunnan.
For the past 6 years I also have traveled to Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Nepal, India, Malaysia, Tibet as well as many big city in China . I am deeply passionate about traveling, I love to meet people of all walks of life from other cultures. I love to explore new and less visited places, to learn different ways of thinking and living from people . With my work I constantly learn more about myself and the life in this amazing and ever changing world.
I speak Mandarin, local dialect, Bai language and fluent English. I like to take my guests to off-the-beaten-paths, to local markets, to ancient villages and monasteries, and to trails in the mountains to meet local minority peoples including shamans, elders, crafts people, artists and other characters of interest living in the area.
Since moved to Shaxi a year ago ,I spent most of my time on hiking,biking ,trekking into high solitude mountains.I like to view myself as a real ,personal , passionate outdoor guide who cares about your coming trip in Yunnan.
In hope to preserve our nature ,everyone who join my tour will get a free tree in return to donate to local community &people .
I also offer fresh market tours with cooking class in Shaxi Pear Orchard Temple, and mushroom picking tours in the summer rainy season. If you prefer, we can also cook a lovely Bai-style homemade meal together.
