Shenzhen Private Tour Guides

“Can Shenzhen really be more interesting than Beijing or Shanghai? Or is it just that Miaomiao was our guide?”

Miaomiao met us in our hotel lobby. Before coming on our trip, she had already planned our itinerary. She had immediately understood what interested us, and the itinerary was perfectly attuned to that. We largely wanted to see modern China, including hi-tech development, and to understand how such a large city could be built in such a short period of time. We visited a building devoted to the display of robot technology — not just two-legged robots like you might picture, but robotic devices designed to automate manufacturing, construction, medicine, etc. We took a look at several brands of Chinese electric cars (very impressive), rode in self-driving taxis, and watched prototype flying cars take off and land (we could have flown one ourselves, but we're a family of cowards). We visited a cultural center and library devoted to design and a designers' "mall" where designers (and tourists) could keep up with the latest developments in plastics, textiles, and other materials, and see both traditional and cutting edge products and designs. We walked through the Dafen Oil Painting Village with street after street of artists creating both reproductions and original artwork, and workshops for aspiring artists, both children and adults. In the same neighborhood was a truly beautiful teahouse housed in what was a centuries-old home. And we walked through the Nantou Ancient City where old homes were turned into modern boutiques and restaurants. And a huge "designer mall" where interior designers and decorators can visit floor after floor of beautiful furniture and furnishings. And then we ran out of time, with so much more we would have liked to see. Through all this, Miaomiao's energy didn't flag. She explained so much of it in flawless English. And she seemed genuinely interested in, and proud of, the places we visited. We recommend Miaomiao highly, and Shenzhen as well.ill likely be visiting in other parts of this amazing country.

“Great introduction to Shenzhen’s economy and history!”

Miaomiao was a great guide for the day! I got a great introduction to the city, we packed a lot in but it never felt rushed. She was great at adapting plans throughout the day based on my interests, energy and the weather. She shared a lot of fascinating professional and personal experience about the city and also was very knowledgeable about its broader economic development and history. Was also very communicative and responsive in the lead up to the tour which made planning easy. Highly recommend!
