_ Team of Experts
Over
the past twenty years our General Manager, Mr. Hua Qing, has
traveled all over China as a tour leader and national guide.
As a pioneer of specialty and adventure tours in China, Mr.
Hua and his capable team have planned and operated many such
tours in remote and unrevealed areas of China. Mr. Hua Qing's
goal is to share with our clients the unique cultures that
are gradually disappearing due to modernization. Our clients
leave China with lifetime memories.
Mr. Hua Qing was born in the countryside of Eastern
Tibet of China. He grew up with a special love and understanding of
nature, farmers and nomadic people. He therefore has a creative
sensitivity that forms the basis of unusual specialty and
adventure tour itineraries. Many of the places he shares with
his groups are not regular tourist destinations and cannot
be found in guidebooks. Ethnic culture, textiles, local festivals,
minority arts and crafts, high land trekking and cycling,
bird watching, as well as different study tours along the
Silk Road, are some examples.
Botany and agriculture tours along the Yangtze and Yellow
Rivers and from the highlands down to the flatlands are other
adventures available. Mr. Hua Qing and his team are pioneers
in arranging unusual agriculture tours such as grain, dairy, duck, deer, cattle, pig, meat, seafood, herbal medicine, wine, vegetable, and fruit industries. Other interesting tours
show the client the changes in the modern life of Chinese
farmers and peasants.
Beijing Youth Travel itineraries become unique experiences
as our clients are taken into the homes, hearts and minds
of the native people. Mr. Hua Qing's extensive relationships
in China ensure that our clients are welcomed everywhere.
Our general manager believes that customer's satisfaction should
be our service priority. He has instilled in his team his
own high standards of good service. Our company strives to
give the client the best available service, and to ensure
the client's comfort, safety and happiness during all tours.
We contract highly skilled native guides, experienced drivers
and professional tour operators. In short, we hire the best
team to do the best job for our clients.
Just as the words of Shakespeare, Dickens, Balzac, Hardy,
and Jane Austin open our minds to new ideas and concepts,
and just as the music of Strauss, Hayden, Beethoven, Schubert
and Mozart calms and soothes the soul, Mr. Hua Qing's adventure
tours give our guests stimulating and different life experiences
in comfortable and secure surroundings.
Tourists coming to China, with Beijing Youth Travel Company
enjoy different peoples, beautiful landscapes, good food and
comfortable hotels. We share with them our own deep knowledge
and interesting perspective of Chinese Ethnic culture spanning
5000 years.

Duker
Tsering was born in a Golok nomad
family in Amdo of great Tibet, at the foot of Mt. Amnye Machen,
he fought against his fate of becoming a nomad like his father
and grandfathers. At the age of 13, Duker left his loving
mom and dad and the grassland which had nurtured his family
from generation to generation. He was on the back of a yak
for the first day's trip to Lanzhou, capital city of Northwest
China's Gansu Province. He tied his yak well and went to sound
sleep the first night. However Duker found no yak on the second
morning and he was left alone on the vast grassland. His yak
went home apparently. With tears in his eyes, Duker had a
last look at the direction of his home and carried all his
belongs and started his very first trekking in his life, it
was a trek of a life time, it was a trek for a new life and
a new world, mysterious but with hope. He trekked for two
days to reach the bus station where he saw the first vehicle
in his life and this vehicle took him to Lanzhou where he
met his aunt. With the help of his aunt, Duker finally became
a student at a school in Lanzhou where he was one of the two
Tibetan students. He anxiously studied Chinese and English
from the very beginning. It was the learning of English that
changed him, his way of life and his perspective of the world.
Wow, what a different world was what he found out one year
after he started to learn English and finally he realized
that he had to do something for his fellow Tibetans upon his
graduation. He went to the Labrang Monastery and worked as
a part time tour guide to help Westerners to know Tibetan
culture where he met Americans, British and people from the
West. Of course, middle school English was never good enough
to communicate. Duker had to study English by himself and
practiced with travelers. The Labrang Monastery is one of
the six most important monasteries in whole Tibet. Besides
English, Duker had thoroughly studied Tibetan Buddhism, history,
and culture. His knowledge of Tibet enables him to provide
information even to those demanding Tibetan scholars from
the West. Today Duker is one of the best guides in Tibet.
Born in Golok of Amnye Machen area, Duker recognizes himself
as the son of Mt. Amnye Machen who knows every inch of Amnye
Machen. Duker believes that it is his obligation to introduce
his hometown, Tibet to the world, to take good care of those
who come to visit his hometown.
Jay

Liangye,
graduated from Capital University of Economics and Business
with a degree in management, has been working with us for more than 15) years, and operating several tours in China, including agriculture
tours and special tours. The reason why she loves her job
is that she loves the nature.
Liangye was born in Urumqi, capital city of Northwest China's
Xinjiang Province, and lived with her grandparents in the
countryside in Hunan province during her childhood. She went
to the field with them everyday, helped do a little farm work,
and could recognize many crops such as potatoes, paddy rice,
sweet potatoes, edible wild vegetables, soybeans and so on.
She also fed the beautiful cock and fat pigs in the yard.
It was her grandparents who led an idyllic life and taught
her to be a nature-lover. Later, she lived in Xinjiang province
for 7 years, and she never forgets the mountains, the lakes
and the people accompanying her growing-up, then she moved
to Beijing with her family in 1997. She was once an excellent
accountant with the biggest real estate company of Beijing.
Just in July, 2003, her boyfriend Bing took her to Qinghai,
his lovely hometown, to see his birthplace and to do sightseeing.
What a different world. The clean blue sky and the white clouds
were rare to see in modern city. She loved to lie down on
the grassland and closed her eyes, letting the wind whistle
through her ears. The Kokonor Lake that she had been longing
to see day and night was much larger and more beautiful than
she’d expected. The highlight was that she saw many
different sects of monasteries and local religious ceremonies.
She was deeply moved by those native nomadic people who turned
the prayer wheels everyday praying not only for their family
but also for the human beings, and those devout pilgrims who
did prostration all year round. That was a beautiful piece
of land, peace, quiet, and arousing her deep love towards
nature. She therefore quit the former job and started a new
career of her life. She has read numerous books about Chinese
agriculture and Tibetan areas, and traveled all over China.
With her English language capability, she becomes more skillful
and experienced. All her effort is geared to a higher level
of service for our guests. Some persons say that:“ it
is money that makes the world go round”, but there is
an inner voice in her heart :“it is love that do makes
the world go round.” |
