Tell me about your best Travel Experience
As a tour operator, I would love to hear about your favorite experience while traveling. It may have nothing to do with traveling to China, or internationally, or even nationally. I am of the firm belief that a great trip is usually from some sort of communication or understanding of something outside your day to day realm. This may be of a new understanding of your mate, your children or a stranger in a culture that you have never encountered. In the future, I will share with you some of my favorite past experiences and hope you will do the same.

Exploring Culture Through Food
The fundamental basis for our Sichuan tour is not merely to eat great food and learn how to make it but fully involve yourself in an elusive and fascinating culture. If you believe traveling is a sum of pictures taken you probably would not enjoy traveling with me.
When traveling to a country where the vast majority do not speak the same language you speak, it can be quite challenging to get a sense of the "real" experience that you were originally searching for. The exotic notion you once had in your head become filled with mundane picture posing or banal picture taking. What would impress the people in your office or what sight could you display to your family on a Thanksgiving slide-show. Your vacation becomes less of an escape, but something that keeps tying you to the place you were trying to leave.
As this blog develops, I would love if readers would share a small story about their most illuminating travel experience.
P.S. Duzi Tour's website is currently being developed, and you will be the first to know when we get something up.
