THE TEAM
QX - AMGA Certified Rock Guide - AMGA SPI provider - AMGA Certified Alpine Guide - AIARE Pro 2
- AMGA Apprentice Ski Guide - Wilderness First Responder
Qx is the only AMGA-certified Rock and Alpine Guide and SPI provider in Asia. Originally from Singapore, he has been climbing at Long Dong since 2010 and has dedicated much of his journey to sharing his passion for rock climbing, adventure, and outdoor education —while also working to make the cliffs safer and more accessible for every climber along Taiwan’s beautiful northeast coast.
In 2015, he established the first climbers’ hostel in the Long Dong area, creating a home and gathering place for climbers from Taiwan and around the world. After nearly a decade, he sold the business in 2024 to begin a new chapter focused on guiding and outdoor education.
Today, with a new team, expanded experience, and a growing vision, Qx is working toward becoming the first IFMGA mountain guide in Southeast Asia. His goal is to bring internationally recognized guiding standards to the region while creating meaningful and memorable outdoor experiences throughout Mountains in Asia.
From rock climbing and alpine adventures to outdoor education, Qx Adventures is here to take care of your mountain and outdoor adventure needs.
By choosing to adventure with us, you are not only supporting a small local guiding team—you are also helping us raise the standards of professional guiding in Asia.

KANG
Guest Guide, AMGA trained Single Pitch Instructor
When the rock calls, Kang always answers, and the rock is always calling. Kang found climbing relatively late in life, at the age of 30, and was a weekend warrior in the climbing gym until he discovered outdoor climbing. It turned an occasional hobby into a years-long passion. Sharing the love for outdoor climbing has long been one of Kang’s greatest joys in climbing, even before he became a guide/instructor.
Now, as part of the Qxadventures team, he gets to share that passion for outdoor climbing with people from all walks of life, helping them learn new skills, find their own path to joy in climbing, or just have a fantastic day out on the rock. In his professional climbing life, Kang has guided in Taiwan, Thailand and Singapore, and on the personal climbing front, he has red-pointed up to 5.14 throughout Europe and South-East Asia. He is always cheerful, upbeat and willing to go the extra mile to make sure you get the most out of your time out climbing with him.
