I’ve been a licensed English-Japanese tour guide since 2004! I know Shenzhen well—I’ll tell you stories about the "dragon’s sons" on ancient roofs and take you to try high-tech fun like flying cars, drones, humanoid robots, and self-driving taxis, super exciting! I’m great at shopping too. I know exactly where to go for the best deals: cheap gadgets as gifts, real-looking knockoffs at China’s top high-end clothing market, and 2-carat lab-grown diamonds for just 2000+RMB. You might even find a business chance you didn’t expect. Need to visit factories? I can help—show you around, assist with negotiations, or find factories if you don’t have one. After the order is set, I’ll follow up on the progress and help arrange shipping. I’ve ordered clothes, jewelries, frames, lens from factories myself, so I’m super experienced and reliable! I’m flexible, down-to-earth and easy to get along with. I’ll make a customized itinerary fast, no generic cookie-cutter tours—just breathtaking spots tailored just for your taste. Traveling with me is anything but boring, and you won’t need cold translator apps at all. I’ll share your joys and listen to you vent if things go wrong. Your Shenzhen trip will be totally worth it!

“An amazing Guide for an amazing City”
Dear Maria, thank you for such a wonderful day in Shenzhen and for all the impressions I was able to experience with you. Without your incredibly kind support, I would definitely have been completely lost in this amazing city. Thank you also for your patience with all my many questions... I hope I wasn’t too exhausting for you! Thank you for such an impressive day. Thumbs up, five stars — what else?

“Excellent tour guide and translator ”
It seems weird hiring a translator and tour guide but with so many things to do in Shenzen, we needed to right down to business. She is very knowledgeable and did an excellent job of meeting all of our needs for the day. We booked a custom tech tour for my teen with a quick stop in the jewelry district. It could not have gone any smoother. It’s a little bit more expensive than some other guides online but worth it because she is able to cut right to the chase on all the activities.
Miaomiao W.
Boyd, thank you so much for the fantastic review! It truly means a lot to me, and your satisfaction is my greatest motivation. I was incredibly impressed by your child—he is one of the brightest kids I have ever met. Building his own robot and competing in robotics science competitions is just amazing! I really hope to see his name on the global stage someday, achieving even greater things in technology. I’m also thrilled that we managed to find some jewelry pieces your wife truly loved at the wholesale market. It was a pleasure helping you navigate the area! Hope to welcome you back to Shenzhen soon. Looking forward to seeing you all again! Best wishes. Miaomiao
