About Tour Guide Ben W.

I am a government licensed English-speaking tour guide in Hangzhou. I am enthusiastic about history and cultures and used to be an engineer in a Europe joint venture for almost 20 years. I chose to be a tour guide because I love making friends from all over the world and I am very happy to help you better understand China.

Hangzhou, know as “Paradise on Earth”, with the poetic West Lake, is the most beautiful major city in China. It has a very long history of more than 2000 years, once being the capital of ancient China. Hangzhou is also a modern metropolis with amazing city views. It is a paradise for shopping and dining.

There are a lot of famous attractions in the city. You can check the Profile Gallery for pictures I took from those attractions.

I have lived in Hangzhou for over 20 years and almost know every corner of the city. If you are interested in any of those attractions, just message me! I can arrange the tour for you. I can show you the most beautiful scenic spots, and explain the story behind them; I can take you to the most authentic restaurants; I can answer all your questions and I will let you experience the most real China.

I highly recommend you make Hangzhou a stop when you visit China. I am looking forward to seeing you here in Hangzhou!
