About Tour Guide Mei L.
Hi there! I've called Shenzhen home for over 25 years — and this city still surprises me every day.
I spent more than a decade with a Fortune 500 company in the IT industry, but my heart has always been in connecting people across cultures. Today, I'm a licensed English tour guide and a Mandarin teacher for international students — combining my deep love for this city with my passion for sharing Chinese culture with visitors from around the world.
Shenzhen isn't just China's tech capital. It's a city of incredible food trails, vibrant markets, and stunning coastal hikes — and I want to show you the real Shenzhen, beyond the guidebooks.
I lived in Hong Kong for two years and volunteered over 200 hours with a Hong Kong-based charity, which deepened my cross-cultural perspective and my commitment to creating meaningful experiences for travelers.
I'm also an amateur photographer, a hiking lover, and a mom of two — which keeps me curious and energetic! Whether you're into street food, tech company visits, coastal walks, or cultural immersion, I'd love to craft a tour just for you.
The tours can be 100% customized according to your requirements. Let's talk and explore Shenzhen together!

Four Hours in the Future: Shenzhen's Silicon Valley Tech District
Four hours in the part of Shenzhen that feels like next year. A building that looks like a white cave, a store where you can touch gadgets before they're famous, and a park where your coffee arrives by drone and a robot makes the next one. Then a driverless taxi across Houhai — and we finish at the mall, where lunch and the rest of your afternoon are waiting.

New City, Old City: Silicon Valley to aged street locals live
Morning in the Science Park of Nanshan: a glass dome, coffee delivered by drone, a robot barista, and a store of gadgets you can't buy yet. Then a driverless taxi to Shekou, where Shenzhen began — ginger milk curd, a wet market, and a white art centre on the water. One day, two Shenzhens.

Shenzhen Industry Immersion: Private Visit Inside a Chinese Tech Company
Shenzhen's tech economy doesn't live in showrooms — it happens on factory floors and in engineering offices. This is a private guided day built around one real company visit, arranged for you in advance, followed by the two places that explain how the city actually works: a consumer robotics store and the Huaqiangbei electronics market.

Shenzhen Shopping & Photo Day: Jewelry Market, Design District & Skyline
Boutiques, Jewelry, Creative Markets & Skyline Views A full day built for people who'd rather come home with something they can't buy anywhere else — and photos to match. You'll start in the wholesale jewelry district where the city's gold, gemstones and lab-grown diamonds are actually traded, spend the afternoon in a converted industrial park full of independent designers, and finish at the bay as the skyline lights up.

“The best Guide in Shenzhen”
After many tries of “tour by Menu”, we found Mei available to make our own experience, in this case, business experience, as we want and not according to her menu. She was amazing. and she prepared the whole day as we asked her. Our goals were 100% fulfilled. She’s the best in Shenzhen.

Thank you — I'm glad the meeting was the part that stayed with you. It took a while to arrange, and it was worth it. If your work ever brings you back to Shenzhen, tell me what you're looking for and I'll see which doors I can open. Safe travels.

“Perfect Day in Shenzhen”
I genuinely cannot recommend Mei enough!! She was absolutely wonderful and made my time in Shenzhen so special. She was incredibly kind, flexible, and thoughtful about what I wanted to do, and made the entire experience feel less like a tour and more like spending the day exploring the city with a friend! She took me to an amazing jewelry market, as well as a really cool local market and community area that I never would have discovered on my own. I loved getting to experience a more local side of Shenzhen, and she made everything feel so easy, comfortable, and fun. One of my favorite things about traveling is getting to experience places beyond the typical tourist attractions, and Mei really made that possible. I had such a wonderful time with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone visiting Shenzhen. Thank you so much, Mei!!

Dear Jessica,reading this honestly made my day — thank you so much for such kind words. What you said about it feeling less like a tour and more like spending the day with a friend is exactly what I hope for every time. Every guest comes to Shenzhen with a different picture in their mind of what the city should feel like, and my job — and honestly my favorite part of this work — is figuring out what that picture is and trying to bring it to life. So hearing that I got it right for you means a great deal. And I have to say, the local market and those little neighborhood streets are some of my favorite places in the whole city. Getting to share them with someone who genuinely enjoys that side of travel was such a joy. Thank you for being so open, easygoing, and curious. You made the day easy and fun for me too. If you ever come back to Shenzhen, there's so much more I'd love to show and thank you again, truly.

Thank you so much! It was such a pleasure showing your family around — the mangroves, the bike ride along the bay, and all that amazing food in Shekou. Really appreciate the kind words about my English and the options — it means a lot. If you're ever back in Shenzhen, I'd love to show you more of the city. Safe travels home!

Hi, everyone. I am Heidi,a licensed China tour-guide and 2nd generation cantonese. My parents took me to Canton. Then I live in Shenzhen for studying, working and creating my own family here.I love this magic seashore city ,which always bring people passions, hopes and endless opportunities. About 40 years ago Shenzhen is only a small fish village and after years developing it becomes a modern and international city where attracts people from different regions and countries to visit and develop. I would like to share my knowledge and insights with you during our tour not only regarding the local history, Human culture,dining Culture, but also economics status, industrial zone, etc. I aim to make your experience not only informative but also engaging and enjoyable.

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!
