Hi, I'm Mercier. I like traveling. I hope I can travel all over the world someday. I just want to fill my mind with exciting travel experiences and adventure.

David Deng

Marketing Manager

I have a dream when I was a little boy, I dreamed that one day I could travel around the world and help the poor whom are in need. With the dream I kept searching for it and I found China Travel, I found my dreams are coming true here.So try not to give up your dreams, for if dreams go, life is like the barren filed frozen with snow. I believe that there's no failure in the world but temporary pause to success. If you have not get what you want, you will get the better one! Believe me!

Gavin Van Hinsbergh

Senior Web Editor

I'm about 30 and British, but I believe that the whole world is our home. I enjoy exploring new places, but it looks like I am finally settling down. I got married in 2008, and now I am living in Guilin, my wife's home city. I enjoy learning about China while I edit and write for China Highlights and China Travel.

Brian Trower

Language Consultant

I have lived in Guilin with my family for 4 years. We came to China to explore new opportunities and frontiers. We have been very fortunate to connect with a great company and many people who have made us very welcome. My professional background in Australia was in the Customs and Shipping Industry. I have been able to contribute to China Highlights Travel by bringing skills learned over 30 years in business to this young and energetic company. The team is very dedicated, eager to make the best of every opportunity and a pleasure to work with.

Shirley Jalei Lo

Online Editor

I was born in Beijing, but have lived in the US for most of my adult years. My background is in health care. My experience in editing has been with a pharmaceutical company and at the hospital where I have worked as a pharmacist for the past 37 years. I have also written and edited my own articles on cancer pain management.

Recently, my friend and I visited China. We toured Beijing, Xi'an, Hangzhou, Suzhou and Shanghai in 2005; Guilin, Kunming, Dali and Lijiang in 2006. We found the people to be friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. Many people's faces brightened when I started practicing my Mandarin with them. We had excellent tour guides and drivers. One such outstanding guide was Alex Wei in Guilin. We had fun looking at unintentionally funny English translations of many signs at popular tourist spots. I signed on as web editor with China Travel after returning home in September 2006. Being bilingual, I feel that I have a unique insight into what the writers are trying to describe or say. My goal in editing the travel articles is to simplify, clarify and improve their readability to Western readers. I'm glad to be able to make a positive contribution to this website, and indirectly, to China! I hope to teach English in China one day!

I particularly enjoy traveling, bush walking, skiing, reading and teaching English. In 2005 I taught English in Tianjin for two months. I also visited Beijing and Shanghai.

Last August my husband and I had a lovely holiday in China.

Unfortunately we missed Guilin - next time! In Australia I do English tutoring as a volunteer in order to help immigrants learn English. I have a BA in Asian Studies, CELTA (certificate to teach English)and a diploma in Editing & Proofreading.

I live in a suburb of Dallas, Texas, and work with China Travel as a volunteer.  I've visited China once and thoroughly enjoyed it.  I am captivated by the variety and beauty of China, as well as the warmth and friendliness of its people.  I hope to learn much more about China and it's people through China Highlights .  I look forward to the day when I return to China. Otherwise I work for a large IT company full time, try to travel as much as I can, and spend time with my family.

I live and work in the Western Cape, South Africa. Most of my working career was in banking however in 2001 decided to move into the travel market. I have been very fortunate having travelled many countries around the world and so far have missed out on South America. I have been to China three times. In 2004 to the CITM in Shanghai visiting Suzhou. In 2005, I brought a group of 17 clients to China staying in Guilin, Chengdu, Xi'an, Beijing, Shanghai, 4 night Yangtze River cruise and Hong Kong. That was an amazing experience. In 2006 I brought a group of travel agents on a educational to Beijing using the train to Xi'an and Guangzhou. Another totally different experience yet again. I started my own outbound travel business in 2007 and decided to become a volunteer for China Highlights so that I may enhance my scant knowledge of China which is such a fascinating country.
