About Mei Zhang

Mei Zhang, the founder of WildChina, offers expert advice on travel in China thanks to her roles as entrepreneur, China native, and mother.

Mei Zhang grew up in Dali in China’s Yunnan province, and has since traveled around the world, attended Harvard Business School, and worked for McKinsey across the globe. However, Mei still defines herself as a Yunnan girl. Traveling is in her blood, and even after traversing many of China’s diverse regions, she still wants to go back to comb through it all. For that, she’ll have to wait for the kids to grow up.

    Hello Mei:
    I stumbled upon your site and will look into it on a regular basis. I am from Canada and have been to China on assignment to shoot several time. I am planning a three-person trip this fall for three months. We are journalists from Canada (me), and two Chinese journalists who live in the United States.

    Our trip back to China is unique. We will be test driving three different Chinese vehicles and be blogging, filming and writing articles for our respective newspapers and web sites. This trip is about 11,750 kilometres in length. In addition to reviewiing these vehicles under challenging conditions, I will be writing about the culture, history and daily life on the road.

    Our blog is not up yet, but closer to the time, I will give you the link.

    The think that grabbed my attention about your site was the line, ‘Experience China Differently’. I have fallen in love with China and have been to many parts of the country. I prefer the rural settings and the people are always warm, hospitable and welcoming wherever I go.

    I long to return and bring more adventures and images to the millions of readers who frequent our newspaper’s site. The Toronto Star is the largest newspaper in the country with an enviable readership.

    Perhaps next time I am in Beijing I will look you up. I have my regular guide in Beijing and she can bring me to you for a visit.

    Sincerely,

    Spencer Wynn
