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. Let's 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!

“Great Tech Tour of Shenzhen with Michelle”
Michelle took my wife and I on a customized technology focused tour of Shenzhen. Michelle was perfect for us. She was knowledgeable, personable and fun to be around with a great sense of humour. Her english was excellent, she was very efficient and it was important to her that we had a great time. Compared to joining a group tour, booking Michelle gave us our own personalised tour and tour guide at a better price. Thank you, Michelle!! Your tour was the highlight of our trip.

“An excellent guide”
Michelle managed a 4 day tour for me. She is knowledgeable, a good conversationalist, and readily shares insights about Shenzhen, its development, history and culture. The full tour was very well planned and managed. She is extremely reliable, arrived early each day and nothing is too much trouble for her to amend or arrange. Her English is excellent. An excellent guide and a genuinely delightful person to tour with.
Michelle X.
Dear Alan, It was a real pleasure spending these four days with you. I’m especially grateful for your kindness throughout the tour. I learned a lot from the way you treated the people we met along the way, and from the wisdom you shared through our conversations. I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to show you around Shenzhen.
