Miaomiao W.
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!

“Best Day of Our Entire Trip – Dora Was Amazing!”
Our day with Dora was truly the highlight of our entire trip. From the moment we met her, she was incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming. She made us feel comfortable right away and created such a positive atmosphere throughout the day. Dora was extremely knowledgeable and shared so many interesting insights about Shenzhen, but what really made the experience special was how well she adapted the tour to us. She was flexible, attentive, and made sure everything matched our interests and pace. Every stop felt meaningful, and the entire day was simply a “wow” experience for all of us. We all agreed that this was the best day of our trip. If you are visiting Shenzhen, we highly recommend Dora. She made our visit unforgettable.
