Sarah Zhao
Shenzhen native, history buff & food lover. 6+ years experience showing international guests the real story of Shenzhen.
Leo Zhang
Fine arts graduate and urban-planning nerd, spent 5 years documenting Dafen Village and Shenzhen history. I translate relics and canvases into fascinating stories.
Kevin Wu
Shenzhen native & tech enthusiast. Passionate about showing international visitors how cutting-edge technology blends with coastal urban living.
Elena Lin
Shenzhen nightlife expert and city photographer. Passionate about showing guests the breathtaking illuminated skyline and hidden evening spots after dark.
Alex Chen
Native Shenzhener & professional bilingual escort. I specialize in turning your personal bucket list, business visits, or niche interests into a seamless local experience.
Sammy Lin
Shenzhen native & street food hunter. From night markets to Michelin-grade dim sum halls, I guide you straight to the safest, tastiest and most authentic tables in town.
Mark Zhang
Shenzhen mountains are my backyard. I manage the climbing pace, carry hydration and first-aid gear, snap your summit victories and guide you up safely.
Grace Lin
Falling ill abroad is terrifying. I bridge the language gap in hospitals and wellness clinics, and advocate for you every step of the way.
Sarah Chen
Seven years as an interpreter and business companion in Shanghai. I have sat through 200+ factory negotiations, trade fair demos and investor meetings, translating not just words but intentions.
Lin Wei
Former patient coordinator at a Beijing TCM hospital, now a full-time medical companion buddy. I translate for doctors, explain every form and stay with you from registration to pharmacy.
Chen Guo
Professional driver-guide with twelve years on Sichuan roads. From 5 a.m. airport runs to three-day mountain circuits, the luggage always arrives, and so does the local snack intel.
Liu Yang
I grew up in a hutong five minutes from the Forbidden City — my grandfather swept its courtyards in the 1950s. Twelve years of guiding later, I still get goosebumps walking through the Meridian Gate. I read history for fun and I know which wall towers catch the best morning light. Ask me anything about emperors, eunuchs or where to get the best zhajiangmian.

Zhang Mei
A former restaurant cook turned food guide, I take guests through the breakfast stalls and wet markets I have shopped for thirty years. My tours are built around one belief: you do not understand Beijing until you have eaten it awake. I carry story cards for kids and chili oil for the brave.
Wang Lei
Ex-structural engineer. I calculate load paths for fun, so when I show you the Great Wall, you learn how it actually stands up — literally. I guide the wild sections (Jiankou, Huanghuacheng) for hikers and Mutianyu for everyone else. My record is four wall visits in one week, and I regret nothing.
Chen Jing
Shanghai-born, art-history-trained, alley-obsessed. My walks weave the 1930s with right now: gangster hotels to third-wave coffee. I collect archive photos of the streets we walk, so you see 1928 and today in the same frame. Fluent in Shanghainese, which unlocks the best stories from the aunties.

Sun Hao
I was born inside the old city walls and played on them as a kid. A history degree and a decade later, the Terracotta Warriors feel like family — I can point out which general has the double chin. I do train-station pickup logistics in my sleep and know every biang-biang noodle master by name.
Zhao Yun
Chengdu is slow and I am its slowest guide — I will teach you mahjong until the teahouse closes. I volunteer weekends at the Panda Base and know the bears by personality. My map of Sichuan restaurants is a closely guarded treasure; guests get the key.
Bella Tian
Granddaughter of a Longjing tea farmer — I grew up picking two-leaves-and-a-bud every April. I guide the lake at mist hour because that is when Hangzhou tells the truth. Also fluent in Japanese (JLPT N1) for our guests from Japan.
Emma Clarke
Five years guiding Shanghai food walks. Ex-restaurant manager turned storyteller. I know where the best scallion oil noodles hide.
