I'm a vegetarian and was terrified about food in China. Peng put together a custom food guide for every city I visited — marked restaurants on a map, taught me how to say 'no meat' properly, and even found Buddhist vegetarian restaurants I never would have discovered.

We took Peng's recommended Guilin-Yangshoo itinerary and it was perfect. The Li River cruise, the rice terraces, cycling through the countryside — every day was a highlight. She booked a hotel with a view of the karst mountains that I'll never forget.
