Want to explore Shanghai like a friend, not a tourist? See highlights through local eyes? Taste incredible food? Have real fun instead of cliché lectures?

I'm new to this platform, but I'm "old" as a private guide.Since 2016, I've received hundreds of heartfelt reviews across multiple platforms.I created my own tours because I was tired of rigid itineraries, crowded places, hidden costs, lack of open communication, and factory-line experiences.

With 14 years of deep travel experience, I design your day how I'd want my own holiday: authentic, flexible, stress-free, no regrets.My Tourism Management degree helps me operate effectively.My Psychotherapy Master's helps me truly listen—so you feel understood, not just guided.

We'll explore highlights and hidden corners, local food spots, and spontaneous moments that match your curiosity.I share stories, not lectures.I create a safe space where your needs come first—no worries, no judgment.I embrace your interests.Though I may not know everything, I'll research and work around you.Experiences are created not just by me, but us together.

Beyond Shanghai, I have great knowledge and experience with other nearby destinations, such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, the water towns, Huangshan Mountains, and more.

In addition to my background in tourism, I spent three years working in procurement during the pandemic, conducting in-depth research on packaging, construction materials, and machinery.I understand the mindset of Chinese sales representatives, factory owners, and logistics professionals, allowing me to effectively safeguard your interests.Just from quotation files, I can give you different analyses and raise lots of questions to dig further.

In my personal life, I'm curious about everything: cooking, winding down, antiques, architecture, fashion, art, handcraft, classic rock, old films, literature, psychology, and philosophy.I know a "little bit about everything." :)
