| After visiting China, many of our clients want
the experience to go on forever. They make friends on the trip that
they'd like to stay in touch with. Quite often, they find China so
fascinating that they take another Wan-Da tour. So, we're creating
this section for them and for would-be "Wandarers." We hope
to keep adding to it.
Why "Wandarers?" Despite Wan-Da's carp logo, the name
has nothing to do with the film A Fish Called Wanda. Wan and Da
are two Chinese characters meaning "10,000 years" and
"rising ever higher." In combination, they carry auspicious
connotations.
The phrase "wan sui" in Chinese is a salutation for long
life -- 10,000 years long at least. And, by adding "rising
ever higher" to "wan," the Wan-Da Tour Company sums
up its aims and hopes for the future.
Most of all, the name reflects the personalities of Wan-Da founders
Naiwei Bai and Derek Sidenius. They have journeyed all over the
globe and want to share their love of travel and China. "Wandering
is a natural for us," Derek says.
