Testimonial  
Danoe is one of the best guides I ever had in the time I travelled around the world for his excellent guide, euthusiasm and passion to service delivery. He was beyond expection for caring about our health and interest. He has shown a high level of professionalism and enthusiasm.
The driver Norbu was very cooperative and professional. The road condition was quite bad but that was for him to show his excellent skill.
We have known and gained a lot through the trip. Tibet people, culture, history...

Old Steam Train in China
The invention and usage of steam engine was a milestone in the history of human being and that brought a new era of the industrial revolution. Steam locomotives dominated rail traction from the mid 19th century until the mid 20th century, after which they were superseded by diesel and orologi replica italia  electric locomotives. Today the steam trains has done its job in history and gradually fade out from our sight but not all of it. The steam train ride is still available in China such as the ones in Diaobingshan in Liaoning, Baiyin, Haishiwuan, and Yaojie in Gansu and Pindingshan in Hennan. Been called as "the inartificial living sight of industrial revolution" and "alive 18-century-museum of Industrial Revolution", the mini-locomotive powered by steam in a Cole-mine in the hilly country Qianwei in Sichuan's Leshan city, is operating as a passenger-train with a gauge of 76cm, only half it to the metre-gauge imitazioni borse firmate train from Kunming China to Hanoi Vietnam. There's nothing like winding your way across beautiful countryside pulled by a steam train. The noises, smells, and views are all unique and evoke a bygone age when time moved more slowly and timetables were more approximate.
