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.
