Ruqin Li was born and raised in the "garden" city of Hangzhou, the capital and most populous city of China's Zhejiang Province, about 2 hours' driving distance to the megacity of Shanghai.
Studying foreign language was a priority and passion for Daniel throughout his middle and high school years. In 1980, he successfully passed his exams and was admitted to Nanjing International Relations Institute of PLA for English studies.
After graduation, Daniel was assigned to teach English at Guangzhou Navy College of PLA for 4 years. Over time he missed his hometown - Hangzhou.
Upon returning, he immediately joined CITS Hangzhou - one of the leading local travel agencies. A few years in the industry inspired him for new challenges.
In 1994, he moved to Beijing, China's cultural, educational, and political center, to continue his travel career in the vibrant capital.
He started as a division manager at Beijing Xinhua International Tours - one of the leading agencies in Beijing.
After years' hard work he moved to the position of managing director as well as the general manager of both www.tour-beijing.com and www.etours.cn ( Beijing Champagne International Travel Service ).
When it comes to work, Daniel's slogan is: "we no longer just satisfy our valued customers, we must totally impress them."
In 2013, Daniel Li left the inbound travel business.
Now travel, reading, internet surfing and photographing are among Daniel's favorite things to do when he has free time.
