Hi! I'm a Chengdu-based local guide leading small English-speaking groups through the city's food and culture.
For fifteen years I've hosted and interpreted for foreign managers and clients traveling across China — market visits, client meetings, trade shows — so looking after international guests comes completely naturally to me.More recently I spent time running an overseas project in Africa, where English was the working language and cross-cultural coordination was the daily routine.
Food is my real obsession.I study ingredient origins, cooking methods and regional cuisines the way others study a profession, and I pair that with a deep love of Chinese culture — calligraphy, seal carving, the aesthetics of Chinese characters.On my tours we skip the tourist menus: we eat chuanchuan at a beloved neighborhood spot, taste mapo tofu the way Chengdu locals actually eat it, and finish at a no-hype hotpot house where the regulars truly know their food.To me, a great restaurant shouldn't chase trends — reverence for the food itself is the only standard that counts.
I'm punctual, easygoing, and genuinely energized by people.Whether you want a deep food crawl or a culture-and-stories walk, I'll shape the day around you.
