We hope you enjoy the first of many summary videos to appear on our Facebook page, and look forward to hosting you on one of these tours in the future.

Minya Konka Trek 2015
Trekking in Tibet and Sichuan Province - October 2015
Cityland Mall Construction
Cityland Mall will have its own 200,000 sq ft Central Park inside
Soon you’ll be able to rustle through the rushes with your shopping bags in hand at the new Cityland Mall, which is on track to open towards the end of the year.
Construction of the mall is ticking along merrily and 60 percent of the project is already completed according to the developers, Cityland Group.
Leasing for the mall is also going well, with 50 percent of retail spaces already spoken for – which is excellent news for the shopaholics among us.
Construction of the Carrefour hypermarket (which will be the largest in Dubai) is almost finished and will be handed over by the end of next month, while VOX Cinemas and kids’ indoor amusement park Fabyland are also looking to be open in the next six to eight weeks.
By the end of the second quarter of the year, the site will be open for the majority of the mall tenants to start fitting out the shops, with completion of the whole project expected in quarter four.
The landscaping contract for Central Park botanical garden has been awarded to Miracle Garden Landscaping, the company behind the world class landscaped projects such as Dubai Miracle Garden and Dubai Butterfly Garden.
The 200,000sq ft green space will provide a unique sensory experience for shoppers and has been designed to accommodate 7,000 shoppers at a time in its vast expanse.
“We have received strong interest from retailers and we are working to conclude the leasing activities by adding an additional 30% of leased retail space by year-end. We anticipate the balance of the retail area to be fully committed by end of Q1 2019.”
As well as over 100 fashion stores, including Matalan, Riva Fashion and Ipekyol, there will also be over 20 places to eat in the food court area and 22 casual dining options with outdoor terraces at Central Park.

#60daysinChina | Kangding Part I
Hi everyone,
So during my fourth weekend in China, I went to Kangding with the other interns - a small city (capital) located in the Ganzi Tibetan prefecture in Western Sichuan.
This trip has hands down been one of my most memorable ones. Kangding also definitely tops my list of 'most beautiful places I've visited'. The city is just filled with so much nature and beauty and I loved the fact that it's still very much untouched by tourism. Being able to experience Tibetan culture also added so much more to the experience (it also made up for me being unable to visit Tibet this time round haha).
Anyway, hope you enjoy the vlog: part II should be uploaded sometime soon!
Also if you're ever in Sichuan province, do make sure to visit this beautiful city :)

The Pony Club is an Chengdu-based experiential education center that focuses on getting Chinese and International students out of the classroom and engaging real-life experiences in the outdoors. From August 21 to 25 we worked with this group of 7-12 year old Chinese students to trek around Gonga Shan, Sichuan's highest mountain. These kids showed amazing perseverance as they hiked and camped at 3,700 meters and did more exploring than most adults could ever imagine! I was very proud of these students! This tour was organized through Extravagant Yak.
