Ask anyone in China where to find the best meal, and the answer usually isn't a restaurant. It's someone's kitchen. One wok, a few dishes, everything brought to the table still steaming. That's what home tastes like here. I live in Shanghai, and I'd love to have you in my kitchen to cook a few of the dishes we make most often. None of them are difficult, and none of them are fussy, they're simply what's on the table in millions of Chinese homes every night. I'll walk you through the cutting, the seasoning, and the timing, and tell you the stories behind each dish along the way. Before we start, we'll take a relaxed stroll through a nearby wet market, seasonal produce, unhurried vendors, and a glimpse of daily life you won't find at any landmark. Afterwards, I'll send you a PDF of the recipes, so you can make these dishes again in your own kitchen wherever you are. One meal is enough to get to know Chinese food and each other. Come cook with me!

Discover Shanghai from the back of a BMW C 650 GT motorcycle — a rare way to experience the city, as road-legal motorcycles able to ride in central Shanghai are uncommon. This private experience combines motorcycle sightseeing with photography. Ride through tree-lined neighborhoods, along Suzhou Creek, and across Nanpu Bridge with views of the Huangpu River and skyline. 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. I’ll also photograph you at selected stops, giving you a personal visual record of the journey. The route can be adjusted to your interests.

Evening of yummy food and good fun!

TJ was a fantastic guide through the streets of Shanghai around the Xingtiandi area. The group was just the right size, and very fun. TJ brought us to eat really yummy food, kept us safe during the walking tour, and also shared the history of Shanghai with us. The tour felt very special and TJ patiently answered all of our random questions. She kept the pace very manageable (brought my almost 80 year old mum on the walking tour). We got to sample a wide variety of snacks, food and drinks from all regions of China. Enjoyed the tour and it was a very fun and educational evening. Highly recommended!!

Exceptional Tour in Shanghai!

The tour was incredible! We started at 9AM and Snow picked us up from our hotel. She showed us the Shanghai Tower and the Bund, sharing with us the details of every building and the history of it. We went to the Yu Garden and explored around the park. She took us to a local lunch place where we shared a family style Shanghainese cuisine. After lunch, we went to the Water Town, took a boat ride, and walked alongside the beautiful canal. Snow recommended that we see the ERA show which was so exciting to watch! She dropped us off at the show and escorted us inside. The tour ended at around 6:30pm. I'd recommend Snow to everyone! She was so considerate, kind, and thoughtful! She answered all of our questions about the history of Shanghai as well as all of our cultural and lifestyle questions! I've never had a tour guide who was so accommodating and caring of the group!

An excellent way to discover highlights

In Shanghai for the first time and with very limited space for sightseeing. Perfect choice. Both Sunny from the operator and Ruby, the tour guide were super. Details established with Sunny for all administrative things made the trip smooth and Ruby was super knowledgeable, adaptable and helpful to everyone! Exact the amount of information you would like to get, always flexible and smart! We opted for the Old Town with Yu Garden - both super nice , the French Concession and the Bund with a bit of Nanjing Street. Old Shanghai is also interesting!
