Meet Hangzhou through the eyes of a local cultural researcher and content creator. With an RMA in Cultural Analysis from the University of Amsterdam, a BA from Nanjing University, and five published academic papers on art and cross-cultural studies, I bring a research-based, cross-cultural perspective to exploring China. On this bike tour, we’ll explore a simple question: How did a lake become a work of art? West Lake may look like untouched nature, but its landscape was shaped over centuries by gardeners, monks, scholars and artists. We’ll cycle quieter routes through Yang Gong Causeway, classical gardens and wetlands, then ride into the Longjing tea hills to visit the China Tea Museum and see the tea landscape up close. Rather than simply checking off famous sights, we’ll explore how Chinese ideas about nature, beauty and landscape shaped one of China’s most iconic places.

Hello! My name is Clover, and I’m a licensed tour guide based in Shanghai. I design my tours to showcase the most fascinating sides of Shanghai, including iconic places like Yuyuan Garden, Xintiandi, the Bund, and Nanjing Road. These locations beautifully reflect the city’s journey from ancient traditions to modern life and future vision. Along the way, I’ll also take you to local food spots loved by residents, where you can experience authentic Shanghai snacks and cuisine—far beyond the typical tourist experience. Before becoming a tour guide, I worked as a Chinese language teacher for international students, so I have a deep understanding of Chinese language, history, and culture. If you’d like to pick up some practical and fun Chinese while traveling, I’d be more than happy to help. I’m open-minded, energetic, and truly enjoy connecting with people from different cultures. I look forward to welcoming you in Shanghai and exploring this incredible city together!

The motorcycle lets us explore smaller streets and experience the city’s changing atmosphere more freely. This is not a traditional tour filled with scripted facts. As a photographer living in Shanghai, I’ll share the streets, views, and everyday details I personally enjoy, along with my own experience of the city. It’s more about sharing than lecturing.
