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!

Hi Diana, Thank you for your amazing review! It was my great pleasure to guide your lovely family and I also had a wonderful time with you all. I was very moved seeing how thoughtfully your two daughters cared for their 92‑year‑old mother. It was truly such a precious family trip. Hope to welcome you back to Shenzhen again. Wish your whole family good health! Miao Miao

“A must tour if you are into technology ”
Our group really enjoyed this tour. It exceeded our expectations. Time went by so fast when you are having fun. We extended our tour. It was well worth it. Our guide Miaomiao is very fluent in English and was able to answer our questions very quickly. I would recommend her 100%.

“A Fantastic Shenzhen Experience with Miaomiao”
Miaomiao was a fantastic guide during our time in Shenzhen. She communicated clearly and did everything she could to accommodate us, even when we changed our plans a few times. At the Gold and Diamond Market, she helped us find the right options and negotiate with the stores. We also visited the toy market with my daughter and had a wonderful time browsing the hundreds of little shops. Miamiao made it so much easier to talk with the shop owners and helped us find the right products amongst all the options. The next day, we realised one of the rings we’d bought was the wrong size. Although Miamiao wasn’t working, she still helped us contact the store and arrange a swap. She made the whole process so easy. We couldn't have done this without her. The whole experience was frantic and fun, especially going with my 9 year old daughter. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Miamiao to anyone visiting Shenzhen.
Miaomiao W.
Hi Nicholas, Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for recommending me so highly! I truly appreciate your kind words. I’m so happy I could help you find a diamond ring your wife loves. I hope it will be a beautiful reminder of your love and that your marriage will remain as strong and everlasting as the diamond itself! I’m also glad we found some toys your daughter loves and that you all had such a fun time exploring the markets together. Even though I wasn’t working the next day, I was happy to help with the ring exchange. Knowing that you had a great experience in Shenzhen and found what you were looking for means a lot to me. It’s one of the most rewarding parts of being a guide, and I’m always happy when I can make a trip a little easier and more enjoyable for my guests. Thank you again for your trust and kindness. I hope we’ll have the chance to meet again on your next visit to Shenzhen! Warm wishes, Miaomiao
