Dear Travel China Guide,
We would like to send our sincere thanks to those ladies travel counselors and these gentlemen at the local Lhasa travel agency who helped us have the best vacation ever in Tibet from May 21st-27th, 2007.
At Xian Marco Polo Agency, Ms. Irene Zhou and Ms. Judy Su, always being very courteous and informative, had helped us tailor the tour and guide us step by step to pick the best itinerary for our Tibet trip. Those ladies are very friendly, effective, and helpful counselors who greatly helped us decide to travel confidently with Travel China Guide. Thank you, Ms. Zhou and Ms. Su. Without you, we will never decide to go on with our dream to go to Tibet!
At Lhasa, we had the chance to meet Mr. LABA CIREN and Mr. NYI MA. Mr. Laba Ciren drove us safely to everywhere, even when it was already late, always with his friendly smile and his care. His car is always clean and neat! It is Mr. NYI MA, our Tibetan tour guide, who is the highlight of our Tibet trip, not any palace nor grand temple. Mr. NYI MA is the most patient and caring tour guide I've ever known (and before our Tibet trip, we went to China 4 times already, to Beijing, Shanghai, Xian +Luoyang +Kaifeng +Zhengzhou+Shaolin Si, Dali+Kunming, and Guilin). He never rushed us, knowing that we had trouble of catching our breath due to the high altitude sickness. He took great care to every single meal of us, bringing food to our room (we were too sick to go down for breakfast!), helping us reminding restaurants that we can NOT eat chicken nor egg! (Thanks to Travel China Guide's restaurant selection, we can enjoy many different cuisine, all are amazing, from Sichuan, Nepalese, to Chinese and Tibetan !!!) Most of all, Mr. NYI MA is the most clever and sage person that we've ever had the chance to talk with. His knowledge in Buddhism and Tibetan culture is vast and deep. His years of staying and studying at monastery made him a living encyclopedia of Tibetan culture. And he never lost his patience to us who were always late, sick, slow and forgetful (high altitude sickness)! His calmness and his great care to guests surely touched us. We learned a lot from Mr. NYI MA, and he just humbly said that it was TIBETAN HOSPITALITY. Please send our most sincere thanks to the two gentlemen Mr. Laba Ciren and Mr. Nyi Ma. Without their generous help, our dream China trip will not ever come true!
We'll strongly recommend Travel China Guide to all traveler fellows who desire to take their dream trip to the mysterious and amazing plateau of Tibet.
Sincerely,
HA VO & SOPHIE TANG
