TCG's staff

On Jan 6^th, just a few days before Spring Festival, TravelChinaGuide (abbr. TCG hereinafter) held the Evening party for celebrating the New Year at Yuehao Haihuang (A Cantonese Cuisine Restaurant in Xian).

All the staff of TCG including the office operators, tour guides, and drivers was presented. The banquet began with a grand feast and then followed by a wonderful performance, whose programs were all created and played by TCG staff members.

The restaurant was aboratively decorated by balloons, banners and other beautiful ornaments, which brought joyful ambience for TCG's evening party specially. We enjoyed comic dialogue, opusculum, songs and instrumental playing performed by ourselves and also played amused games. The performances were so excellent that all the TCG staff were greatly impassioned with their acclaim and applause.

Winners of the performances and attendees of the games all got the awards as New Year's gifts, which are also the thankfulness to all members of TCG group for their arduous efforts on work in the past year.

Each year, TCG will hold the celebrating activities for welcoming the New Year, but this is the first time for TCG to have the celebration by performances, which is of great help on harmonizing all members' friendly relationship and warm communication. That night is a happy night, leaving so deep impression and sweet memories for us, and we all will never forget it.
