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!

Hi, I’m Cade, a local guide based in Chengdu. If you’re planning a trip to China and feel a bit confused about how things work here - don’t worry, that’s exactly where I come in. I help travelers explore Chengdu (and beyond) in a simple and relaxed way. No complicated plans, no rushing around - just a smooth trip where everything actually works. - Want to see the pandas without wasting half your day in queues? - Need help figuring out trains, tickets, or how to get around? - Or just prefer having someone local to make things easier? That’s basically what I do. Most of my guests are not looking for a “tour guide with a flag”, but someone who can: - plan your route properly and make the most of your time - help you avoid common travel problems and tourist traps - stay away from overly crowded tourist spots when possible - experience the real local culture, not just the surface - keep everything transparent with no hidden costs - make the whole trip feel easy and smooth I’m flexible with plans, so whether you already have an idea or have no clue where to start, we can figure it out together. Just send me a message and tell me what you’re thinking.

“High-Tech Tour with Robotics in the 6S Store, Kickstarter, Electronic Market, BEV at Huawei and Xiaomi, Drone Delivery in the Park, driverless Taxi, delicious Lunch in sophisticated Restaurant, upper class Transfers”
Miaomiao led us on a fascinating, insightful and very entertaining tour into the High-Tech World in Shenzhen. She knows the right places, knows them and the people well and brings you there smoothly. We saw, experienced and learned a lot and Miaomiao gave us much additional information based on what we were interested in. The restaurant for lunch was well selected and the chicken one of the best I had on our trip. We finished the tour after 6 PM in the lively Sea World Area overwhelmed with impressions and good discussion. Miaomiao is definitely a Guide that we can strongly recommend and I am happy that whenever I have a question related to (Tech in) Shenzhen I can contact her. Many thanks again et à la prochaine!

Hi Nick. Thank you so much for your fantastic review — it truly made my day, the kind of feedback that keeps me motivated in this work. I had a wonderful time exploring with you two too. And your jokes brought more fun in the tour. I’m really glad you enjoyed that restaurant and the chicken. Everyone orders that twice :) Looking forward to seeing you in the near future. Until then, I hope you’re doing well and happy exploring!

“Outstanding Guide – Seamless wheelchair accessibility and off-the-beaten-path experience”
Our day with Yu Y. in Shanghai was perfectly organized from start to finish. We were particularly impressed by the logistics: the vehicle was in pristine condition and easily accommodated our wheelchair. Since we were traveling on a public holiday, Yu showed great skill in navigating the city. He expertly steered us away from the massive crowds, taking us to the beautiful Longhua Temple, which provided a serene and impressive alternative to the more crowded tourist spots. His knowledge of Shanghai’s history and architecture is truly remarkable. Another highlight was our visit to a Hot Pot restaurant. The meal was a fantastic experience, and Yu even went above and beyond by organizing a birthday serenade, making the day unforgettable for us. Yu is extremely friendly, professional, and attentive to the needs of travelers with mobility challenges. We highly recommend his services to anyone visiting Shanghai!

“Great experience with Heidi”
Heidi delivered an exceptional full-day tour in Shenzhen for my 16-year-old daughter during her layover. She picked her up promptly at the airport arrivals and kept her under constant supervision, sharing tips on essential apps like Alipay while prioritizing safety and punctuality throughout. My daughter was thrilled by cutting-edge experiences like drone delivery and driverless cars, feeling completely secure and excited until the timely drop-off back at the airport for her late-night flight.

Dear Gaetan, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m really glad to hear your daughter enjoyed her layover tour in Shenzhen and felt safe, well looked after, and engaged throughout the day. It was a pleasure accompanying her and introducing her to some of the city’s unique highlights. As always, I made sure to prioritize her safety and schedule to ensure she reached the airport on time for her connecting flight. I hope she has wonderful memories of her short stay in Shenzhen, and I wish her all the best for her future travels. Best regards,/Heidi
