Hi there! I’m Michelle, your local Shenzhen expert.

With 20+ years in Shenzhen and a decade of experience in global sourcing, my expertise lies in designing unique city discovery routes and arranging professional business trips. My mission is to create seamless and memorable experiences for both business travelers and curious explorers. Having studied in Austria and traveled to 30+ countries, this background allows me to share local knowledge with an international perspective.

Beyond guiding, I’m a fan of hiking, photography, and Salsa dancing. My curiosity keeps me energetic, and I love sharing insights into Chinese culture and modern life. I’m sure we will have great conversations and discover the best this city has to offer.

Please feel free to reach out to discuss a tailor-made plan and check my availability.
