Now it's a lively coastal area with dining, shopping and entertainment. It's a waterfront square where Chinese and Western cultures blend well.

I majored in Japanese tour guiding at university, and work as a professional tour guide-fluent in English, Japanese, and Cantonese. Since graduating in 2004, I have worked as an English and Japanese tour guide in Guilin, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and the East China region for 10 years. I also led tours to Thailand during that time.
Later, I switched to translation work, mainly helping foreign companies and individuals who came to China to source clothing, jewelry, electronics, and glasses. These jobs gave me a lot of experience across different industries.
Now I work as both a Pilates instructor and a tour guide. I love exercising—it keeps me full of energy every day. As a tour guide, I really enjoy interacting with foreign friends: showing them beautiful sights, trying delicious food, and sharing China's culture and history. Thanks to my diverse work experience, I can also chat about the changes in China over the years—whether it's the economy, industries, people's lives, or their ways of thinking.
I just love this feeling of connecting with people and sharing things with each other. Exchanging fresh stories with friends from different countries is always interesting and brings a great sense of novelty.
