I have travelled China for 22 years. First 5 years I worked representing Chinese companies in the feather and down business. I gave lectures for the United Nations "Star" program helping small and medium size companies understand western business. Having been to China 48 times I am now a Tour Operator in Seattle doing custom tours for clients all over the world to China from my web site: interlakechinatours.com I also teach a class at the University of Washington and two community colleges each quarter as a one day class titled, "Ins and Outs of Travel in China". My focus today is on Liesure travel in China. My long suit is knowing China very well and having been to most areas working in the tourist trade. Have made 50+ trips to China so know it very well.
