About Tour Guide 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!

“Shenzhen with Miaomiao ”
My husband and I spent an excellent half day with Miaomiao. Her knowledge was fantastic and we learnt alot. She also helped us out navigating the rest of our time in Shenzhen. A tour with Miaomiao is highly recommended!

Hi Janmaree, Thank you so much for your lovely review! I really enjoyed showing you around Shenzhen, and I’m glad my recommendations were helpful to you. I hope you’ll visit Shenzhen again someday. There’s still so much more to explore, and I’d love to show you more of this amazing city next time! Best, Miaomiao

“Great guide! ”
Despite touring an area that Miaomiao wasn't that familiar with she was willing to give it a try for us and ended up doing a fantastic job. We really enjoyed spending the day with her and appreciated her warm and pleasant character. Thank you Mia!
Miaomiao W.
Hi Deedrick, Thank you so much for your kind and heartwarming review! Your words are the greatest encouragement for my work. I also really appreciate you sharing stories about life in Canada with me. It was wonderful to learn more about the world through your experiences. The friendship between you two is truly something special, and I have to say, I really admire it! I hope you’ll have the chance to visit Shenzhen again someday. I’d love to show you more of this amazing city!

“We had a fantastic experience exploring Shenzhen with Miaomiao as our guide! From start to finish, she was absolutely wonderful.”
Miaomiao is incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting insights about Shenzhen, its development, culture and everyday life. She really brought the city to life for us and made the entire experience so much more meaningful than simply visiting the sights. What we particularly appreciated was how well she managed the entire day. Everything was thoughtfully organised, she was extremely reliable, and the tour flowed effortlessly. Her English is excellent, which made conversations easy and enjoyable throughout. And perhaps the best compliment of all – our kids absolutely loved her! She connected with them so naturally and made sure they were engaged and enjoying themselves too. Miaomiao is not only a fantastic guide but also a genuinely lovely person to spend the day with. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone visiting Shenzhen. Thank you, Miaomiao, for such a memorable day!
Miaomiao W.
Hi Tina, Thank you so much for your lovely review! I also had a wonderful time spending the day with you and your family. Your children especially left a deep impression on me. It was lovely to see how they cared for each other and how curious and interested they were in Shenzhen. I really enjoyed sharing a little bit of life in Shenzhen with them. I truly hope we’ll meet again soon! There’s still so much more of Shenzhen I’d love to show you! Best regards, Miaomiao
