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 1,000 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. Traveling with me isn’t boring—no cold translator app! I’ll share your joy and vent with you if things go wrong. Your Shenzhen trip will be totally worth it!

“Amazing Day with Dora – Highly Recommended!”
I had an absolutely amazing day with Dora during my visit to China. She speaks perfectly fluent English, which made everything smooth and enjoyable. What stood out most was how flexible she was in tailoring the entire day to my preferences — I spent the morning exploring Guangzhou and the afternoon in Shenzhen. In Guangzhou, she took me to key landmarks and introduced me to fantastic local food. In Shenzhen, she guided me through the electronics district and even helped with negotiating, which was incredibly helpful. Throughout the day, we had great conversations, and I learned a lot about local culture. Dora also drove me around in a comfortable car, making the whole experience effortless and relaxed. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended!
