Hi there! I've called Shenzhen home for over 25 years — and this city still surprises me every day. I spent more than a decade with a Fortune 500 company in the IT industry, but my heart has always been in connecting people across cultures. Today, I'm a licensed English tour guide and a Mandarin teacher for international students — combining my deep love for this city with my passion for sharing Chinese culture with visitors from around the world. Shenzhen isn't just China's tech capital. It's a city of incredible food trails, vibrant markets, and stunning coastal hikes — and I want to show you the real Shenzhen, beyond the guidebooks. I lived in Hong Kong for two years and volunteered over 200 hours with a Hong Kong-based charity, which deepened my cross-cultural perspective and my commitment to creating meaningful experiences for travelers. I'm also an amateur photographer, a hiking lover, and a mom of two — which keeps me curious and energetic! Whether you're into street food, tech company visits, coastal walks, or cultural immersion, I'd love to craft a tour just for you. The tours can be 100% customized according to your requirements. Let's talk and explore Shenzhen together!

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!

Clothes from the original-design floors local labels buy from. Jewellery priced by gold weight plus a labour fee, not by the tag. Glasses from an upper-floor shop locals use — same lens brands, half the price. Huaqiangbei, twenty-two electronics markets selling camera drones and AI glasses that translate in real time.

“An excellent Shenzhen tour guide”
I booked Heidi to show some friends around Shenzhen, and she did an excellent job. As a licensed tour guide in China, she is very knowledgeable about Shenzhen and shared many interesting insights throughout the tour. She also speaks very good English, which made communication easy and allowed my friends to fully enjoy the experience. Heidi was punctual, professional, and well organized, as well as attentive to my friends’ interests and pace. She was also kind and genuine, and her warm personality made my friends feel comfortable and well looked after throughout the tour. I would happily book Heidi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and engaging guide in Shenzhen.

Thank you for the review — but more than that, thank you for the hours we spent talking and praying. I won't forget it. I love editing the videos with the clips of you both laughing at the robot shop ,Lianhua Hill and the book shops.And I'm keeping it, whatever you say.

“Perfect day in Shenzhen”
Heidi grew up in the city, she saw the whole development of it and she knows every corner. Whatever you want to do or see she can organise it quickly. We tried a self driving car, checked the robots and ordered coffee via the drone service. It was super fun. Heidi’s English is polished and clear; she literally speaks Queen’s English. Hire her and you won’t regret.
Heidi L.
Dear Andras & gentlemen, Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! It was such a pleasure spending time with you engineers and sharing Shenzhen’s unique blend of tech and local culture. Your kind words inspire me to keep improving and create more wonderful travel memories for my guests. I do feel really sorry that we were unable to watch the full robot performance and let you down on this part. I also truly appreciate how understanding and accommodating you were throughout our tour. Thank you for booking with me, and for the quick, honest communication from start to finish. I sincerely hope I get to meet you all again in China someday. Best regards, Heidi
