Guests can join in with the local singing and dancing. The mountain location brings people lots of fresh air, surrounded by trees you can enjoy something different to your everyday life. Also the hotel is built with wood, which keeps the air fresh and full of flavor inside the building.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How would you define outstanding service and, again from your experience, which hotels would be good examples?<\/strong><br \/>\nI would say the Shangri-la Hotels in Zhongshan and in Guangzhou, and the Crowne Plaza Shenzhen, are good examples. The service in all of these hotels is excellent. The staff have a knack of anticipating guests' requirements so their requests are met with speed and professionalism. You can feel comfortable there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which inbound or outbound travel destinations would you recommend? <\/strong><br \/>\nI would recommend Lijiang in Yunnan and Jiuzhaigou\u00a0 in Sichuan.<\/p>\n<p>Lijiang is famous for its history. You get a real sense of oriental flavor there. And, of course Jiuzhaigou is well known as having some of the best natural scenery in China.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How about your travel plans for 2007?<\/strong><br \/>\nI plan to go to Thailand, or the north or east of China. I choose these destinations because of friends' recommendations. They like to taste different flavors: that's one of the main reasons for traveling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feon Lin works at General Electric in China.
