About Us
Outdoor Education in China
Zen Quest Adventures Limited (ZQ) was founded by Eben Farnworth and Edward Lau in 2012, to run high end outdoor education programmes for Shantou University and a range of corporate, school, charity and other organisations. Many programmes travelling to some of the most beautiful and hard to reach parts of the middle kingdom have since been established. These range from comfortable and easy to reach programmes in Hong Kong, Yangshuo and Lijiang to wild adventure locations in the deserts of Inner Mongolia and the mountains of Sichuan.
Since 2015 ZQ launched a range of environmental technology and field studies modules to add to its existing outdoor education programmes. Bringing ideas from: natural building, permaculture, organic farming, plastic recycling and 3d printing; adding great depth to our programs and experiences.
