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!
