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.

Mutianyu Great Wall is way quieter than crowded Badaling. It keeps an authentic original look with stunning scenery and far fewer tourists. You can take the cable car up and slide down by toboggan for tons of fun. It’s also a super popular online check-in spot, perfect for a relaxing and enjoyable day trip.

Are you searching for a guide who is passionate about local history and culture, can help you avoid large tourist crowds, curates varied genuine experiences beyond routine sightseeing, and carries a warm, humorous personality? Look no further—that’s exactly me. I previously worked as a Financial Reporting Manager at a US-listed firm, and shifted careers after the company went private to follow my true passion: acting as a cultural bridge connecting China and international visitors. I prepare detailed visual aids including topographic maps, historical timelines, illustrated charts and short videos, to make China’s long, splendid history easy for you to grasp. Besides quiet hidden routes inside mainstream landmark spots, I also know plenty of off-the-beaten-path hidden gems outside these crowded tourist zones, letting you enjoy a fully relaxed, crowd-free travel atmosphere far away from swarms of tourists. Simple sightseeing is never enough for my tours. I have stable local partnerships for authentic cultural activities: intangible heritage craft workshops, Chinese cooking classes, wet market visits and immersive local life experiences. I treat every guest like my personal friend, customizing every itinerary fully based on your personal hobbies and travel pace. I won’t merely show you famous landmarks — I’ll help you truly experience authentic Chinese culture.

I’m a Beijing-based former cultural heritage conservation planner with over 10 years of industry experience. For travelers tired of rushed, superficial sightseeing and seeking a more leisurely pace, I deliver deeper heritage experiences in two formats: extended in-depth tours of classic heritage sites, and carefully crafted historic neighborhood citywalks for a holistic understanding of Beijing’s history. All content draws on professional heritage background, distinguishing verified historical facts from folklore and explaining each site’s genuine cultural value. This is perfectly suited for travelers seeking real insight into Beijing’s cultural heritage.

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.
