"Hi, I'm Ruru Zhou, a content specialist at Highlights Travel Family. I have been working as part of Global Highlights for over 15 years as a travel article writer. During this time, I have written numerous travel articles on China, Southeast Asia, Africa, and more recently, India, the Middle East, and Europe, designed to support and motivate travelers on their journeys. These articles cover topics such as destination overviews, must-visit places, trip planning insights, cultural highlights, and helpful tips."
My Story
My goal is to help travelers connect with different places and cultures while providing guidance and inspiration for their trips. I find great joy in sharing my travel experiences and knowledge, providing practical advice, authentic recommendations, and engaging stories to help travelers like you.
I live in China and have extensively explored the country, from its popular attractions to hidden alleyways and remote villages. I have danced with locals in Shanghai's Fuxing Park, savored sweet tea with Tibetan locals in a hidden tea house, rubbed shoulders with the pious Tibetans during the Shoton Festival, and trekked through the collapsed bricks of the wild Great Wall... My personal experience tells me what a memorable trip should be: authentic experiences and being connected with the locals.
And so, I continue to share my insights in my articles: from tailoring personal trip plans to savoring the finest authentic activities to discovering the hidden gems.
RuruMy Travel Highlights
I have a deep appreciation for nature and the outdoors. Exploring natural settings brings me peace and inspiration. My curiosity about the mysteries hidden in mountains, like the possibility of encountering fairies (a childhood dream), motivates me to venture into remote trails and learn about the lives of those living in these secluded areas. Each adventure enriches my perspective and inspires me to share meaningful insights through my articles.
A significant milestone in my writing career unfolded upon conquering a demanding seven-day trek along the iconic Great Wall of China. When I stood on those weathered ancient bricks, watching the Wall of China wind its way along rugged cliffs, I felt a deep sense of awe and respect for the rich history and majestic nature that surrounded me. This experience further ignited my passion to share the beauty, culture, and significance of such iconic destinations through my words.
