Hi! I'm Yuan — a professional travel planner, guide, and photographer.During university, I founded a short-distance travel club and organized over a hundred trips and events over three years.I'm also a travel documentary creator and the founder of a cultural creative brand.

- What Makes My Service Different？
1.Skip the Tourist Rush — Live Like a Local
I won't pack your schedule with rushed checklists.We'll stand by the Bund in the early morning, before the crowds arrive, watching the first light spread across the skyline.In the afternoon, we'll wander through the old lane houses on Yuyuan Road, listening to long-time residents tell stories of the street's past.At night, we'll slip into a tiny, hidden eatery deep in the alleys, clink glasses with the neighbors at the next table, and before you know it, you'll forget you were ever a tourist.This is Shanghai — warmer and far more captivating than the glittering skyline alone.

2.Skip the Tourist Traps — Unlock a Local's Hidden Map
Most online guides are written for tourists.I'll take you to the places locals keep to themselves.A craft workshop at the end of a narrow lane, where an old artisan has sat at the same workbench for thirty years.A noodle shop that's been open for decades, with no proper sign, yet packed with neighbors at every mealtime.Which day to go, what time to arrive, how to dodge the crowds — none of this is from last-minute searching.It's from my own repeated, on-the-ground scouting.You just follow along.No homework, no disappointments.

3.Don't Just Look — Touch the Culture
I don't want you to only "see" culture.In Tianzifang, we'll learn cloisonné enamel from an old craftsman — when the copper wire bends into its first pattern under your fingers, you'll suddenly grasp what true craftsmanship feels like.At a tea house in the M50 art district, we'll whisk a bowl of Song-dynasty-style tea, the bamboo brush rustling against the bowl — a practice centuries older than Japanese tea ceremony.We'll step into a Chinese medicine clinic, where an old doctor takes your pulse and shares ancient wisdom about the body.This isn't sightseeing.This is experience.And what you take home isn't a ticket stub — it's a memory for life.

4.No Posed Photos — Just You, As You Really Are
I don't need you to smile at the camera or strike any pose.You're watching the sunset on the Bund, the wind lifting your hair.Your child looks up and says something, and you lean down to listen — that's the moment I press the shutter.You might not even notice the camera was there.After the trip, you'll receive a set of edited photos.Each one will feel like it was pulled straight from your memory.These aren't tourist snapshots.They're proof that you really lived here, even just for a few days.

5.Shanghai Is Just the Beginning — All of Jiangnan Has Stories
In spring, we head to Hangzhou's Longjing Village to hand-roast a batch of freshly picked tea leaves, the scent of tea lingering on your hands.Come autumn, we visit Suzhou's Panmen Gate — the only fully preserved water-and-land city gate in China — and stand on the ancient walls while I tell you how a city once held off a thousand troops.In Nantong, we learn from an old craftsman how to build a ban yao kite — when it rises, it whistles, a sound passed down for centuries.In Yixing's old town, we knead purple clay in our hands, slowly shaping it into a teacup.If you're fond of wine, the vats of Shaoxing's Yellow Wine Town are waiting for you to scoop a ladle of the original brew.These places don't draw many tourists.But they hold deep stories — each one worth the journey.


- Why Choose Me?
1.I'm More Than a Guide — I'm Your Local Friend
I founded a travel club in university and organized over a hundred trips in three years.I'm used to looking after different people's needs — I know when to explain, when to be quiet, and when to flexibly adjust the plan.With me, you won't feel "led." You'll just feel accompanied.

2.A Bit of Psychology — I Understand How You Feel
I'm a psychology enthusiast, and I'm good at observing and empathizing.If you're tired, I'll notice and quietly slow the pace.If something catches your interest, I'll add a little more time.If you're not enjoying something, we can change it anytime.My service doesn't follow a rigid schedule — it follows your rhythm.

3.A Designer's Eye — Capturing Your Most Beautiful Travel Moments
I'm a trained designer and professional photographer.I carry my camera the whole trip, capturing you at your most natural and moving.No posing, no looking at the lens — sometimes you won't even know I'm shooting.After the trip, I deliver edited photos.Not tourist snapshots, but the way you truly looked while living in this city.

4.Exclusive TCM Heritage — Something No One Else Can Offer
My stepfather is the official inheritor of Shanghai's intangible cultural heritage "Caitongdetang Traditional Chinese Medicine Decoction Paste Craft." I can bring you into a real TCM clinic, where an experienced doctor takes your pulse, and you can experience acupuncture, tuina massage, and moxibustion — not the kind performed for tourists, but the real wellness practices that Shanghai locals use themselves.

5.An Entrepreneur's Perspective — We'll Talk About More Than Just Scenery
I'm building my own cultural creative brand, with hands-on experience in business, design, and creativity.If these topics interest you, we won't just talk about "what year this monument was built." We'll talk about the business logic behind culture, the evolution of design aesthetics, and the creative ecosystem of this city.By the end of the trip, you might take home more than photos — you might take home new ideas.

6.Save on Your Budget — You Don't Need to Cover My Entry Tickets
At most public museums, classical gardens, and nature reserves in China, I receive free or reduced admission with my official credentials.This means you won't need to pay for my entry fees.I will confirm the policy for each attraction ahead of the trip, helping you keep your budget focused on what matters — more great meals, or a quiet tea session at a local tea house, rather than on entry costs.
