My
Story

IMG_1802.jpeg

My name is Abbie Ding (丁加宁)

Founder

I was born and raised in Shanghai, China and now live in San Francisco Bay area. Growing up, I explored China's bustling cities, ancient temples, and remote landscapes, all of which left an indelible mark on me. After moving to the US over a decade ago, I found myself constantly drawn back to China—not just for its cultural ties, but for the endless discoveries it holds, even for someone with my background.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of visiting over 30 countries, immersing myself in different cultures, landscapes, and experiences. Yet, despite all the incredible places I've explored, China remains the destination that continuously fascinates and inspires me. The country offers a depth of history, beauty, and adventure that few places on Earth can match.

Living in San Francisco, I've noticed that while many travelers are eager to explore China, there’s often a lack of guidance when it comes to experiencing the country’s true essence. Most itineraries offer a glimpse of China’s landmarks with limited customization and authentic experiences that make the country so special. I knew I could bridge this gap by combining my deep cultural understanding with a passion for curating luxury travel.

 

88 Seconds was born out of my belief that the best parts of travel come in fleeting seconds, yet their impact can last a lifetime. They can be a sunrise over a distant mountain range or shimmering ocean that bring tears to your eyes, a glimpse of a local tradition that feel part of something larger than yourself, a walk through the winding streets of a foreign city at night, where the glow of lanterns or neon signs casts long shadows, where the world feels alive and full of possibilities, or just the first bite of a dish, prepared with local ingredients and flavors that are foreign yet inviting, and linger in your mind long after you've left... and many more.

 

88 is a symbol of prosperity and good fortune in Chinese culture, and it represents my promise to bring clients experiences filled with luxury, cultural richness, and deep meaning. I wanted to offer more than just sightseeing. I wanted to craft immersive, exclusive, and unforgettable experiences that allowed travelers to truly connect with China.

 

With my insider knowledge of China and my years of experience exploring the world, I set out to create a luxury travel service that doesn’t just take you to China but brings you into its heart. 

 

At 88 Seconds, my team and I are committed to curating a seamless, personalized journey that combines the luxury you deserve with the authentic experiences that make China truly extraordinary. From custom itineraries to VIP access, we will ensure that your trip to China is unforgettable.

This is not just a business to me—it’s a passion, a connection to my roots, and a way to share my love for China with the world. I look forward to helping you explore China in a way that transforms not only your travels but your life.
