About Tour Guide Ma Y.

Hello everyone! Welcome to Beijing!

I’ve been working as an official, certified English-speaking guide in Beijing for 28 years. I’m a real Beijinger, born and raised here, so I know every corner of this city like the back of my hand.

I specialize in Chinese history, especially the history of Beijing and its famous landmarks. Over the years, I’ve guided thousands of visitors from all over the world, helping them truly understand and enjoy this amazing city.

I’m easygoing, friendly, and love to share stories with a little humor, so our tour will be fun and relaxing, not just boring lectures.

I often take tourist to Mutianyu Great Wall — one of the most beautiful and best-preserved sections of the Great Wall. I’ll show you the best views, share fascinating historical facts, and make sure you have an unforgettable experience.

What makes a great tour guide? Is it being familiar with tourist attractions? Yes, of course. You need to know the best time and route to visit popular sites. For instance, Monday mornings at Mutianyu Great Wall can be a nightmare. Even at the Forbidden City and Summer Palace, there are quieter routes where you can truly immerse yourself in history. Is it being knowledgeable about history and culture? Yes, of course. China has 5,000 years of civilization and Beijing has served as China’s capital for over 900 years. I use visual aids, such as a relief map of China and a 5,000-year civilization timeline comparison, to help you grasp Beijing and China's splendid past. But most importantly, a good guide should understand clients’ needs. Travellers have different interests. Some love to experience locals’ quiet daily life — a wet market visit would be perfect. Some seek excitement, and an acrobatic show can become the most unforgettable part of your trip. Some admire traditional Chinese paintings, and Liulichang, where people have bought artworks for centuries, will satisfy your artistic taste. Others enjoy riding shared bikes and wandering through old hutongs, then, let’s bike together and discover hidden gems even locals overlook. Talk to me, and I will find the side of Beijing that suits you best. Book my service, and I will show you authentic Beijing!

Hello! I’m your bilingual local guide for Beijing cultural & heritage tours. I spent more than 10 years living and working in Europe, so I fully understand overseas travelers' travel habits, cultural needs and the little details that make your trip smooth and enjoyable. I hold a professional English tour guide qualification, and I focus on deep-dive tours covering Beijing’s museums, ancient temples, historic relics, grotto art and classic traditional architecture. I love telling history with lively, insightful stories rather than rigid textbook explanations. I’m happy to draw interesting comparisons between Eastern and Western culture during our visits, to help you truly get behind the stories of every relic and landmark. I’m an experienced global traveler myself, having hiked iconic long-distance trails and explored over 20 nations by self-drive and backpacking, so I can offer great off-the-beaten-path travel tips as well. Patient, detail-oriented and easy-going, I aim to make your Beijing journey both educational and relaxing, and help you experience the most authentic side of this ancient capital.

Having lived in Beijing for two decades, I've witnessed firsthand its most incredible transformation. As a former videographer, I spent years capturing Beijing's stories through the lens. Now as a guide, I've become a storyteller, sharing all the hidden bits tucked away in corners that you'd never find in any guidebook.
