I'd been to China before on group tours. This was completely different. Peng designed a Chengdu trip focused entirely on food — we ate at places I never would have found on my own. The hotpot recommendation alone was life-changing.

I run a TCM clinic in Melbourne and wanted to see the real thing — herbal markets, acupuncture hospitals, the whole ecosystem. Peng arranged visits to clinics in Chengdu and Chongqing that most foreigners never see. Her knowledge of Chinese medicine is legit.
