“Excellent tour guide and translator ”

It seems weird hiring a translator and tour guide but with so many things to do in Shenzen, we needed to right down to business. She is very knowledgeable and did an excellent job of meeting all of our needs for the day. We booked a custom tech tour for my teen with a quick stop in the jewelry district. It could not have gone any smoother. It’s a little bit more expensive than some other guides online but worth it because she is able to cut right to the chase on all the activities.

Boyd, thank you so much for the fantastic review! It truly means a lot to me, and your satisfaction is my greatest motivation. I was incredibly impressed by your child—he is one of the brightest kids I have ever met. Building his own robot and competing in robotics science competitions is just amazing! I really hope to see his name on the global stage someday, achieving even greater things in technology. I’m also thrilled that we managed to find some jewelry pieces your wife truly loved at the wholesale market. It was a pleasure helping you navigate the area! Hope to welcome you back to Shenzhen soon. Looking forward to seeing you all again! Best wishes. Miaomiao

“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.

Hi Thomas, Thanks a lot for your nice review and kind comments! I truly loved spending time with your whole family. I still remember your great sense of humour，which filled our tour with laughter. I’m happy you loved the itinerary and my introductions. I love and am proud of this place, and hope more people can see how wonderful it is. Great moments always fly by too fast. We didn’t get enough time to explore the furniture market, oil painting wholesale. Hopefully we can make up for these next time. You could even stay for half a month if you get the chance! @_@ It is also good to visit other cities across China, as every destination has its own special charm. I’ll keep checking on the painting progress and send it to you once it’s ready. Hope we meet again soon. Let’s keep in touch! Best, Miaomiao

“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!

Hi Katie, Thank you so much for your lovely review and recommendation. I truly appreciate your kind words. That made my day. I really enjoyed showing you around Shenzhen. I know you love museums, so it’s a pity we didn’t get to see the exhibition about China’s economic reform this time. Sometimes leaving a little unfinished makes us look forward to another visit. I hope this trip leaves you with nice memories. I look forward to welcoming you back to explore more of the city someday! Best regards, Miaomiao
