I have always been fascinated by my hometown of Shanghai. Through my extensive travels around the world, I came to appreciate Shanghai for its many inherent qualities found nowhere else in the world. I wish to share the hidden beauty of Shanghai with you on “The Road Less Traveled”.
Travelling through Shanghai off the beaten path is a totally separate experience from what most visitors are treated to, through my tours you can be assured a unique experience, on a totally personalized tour of Shanghai with a local English-speaking guide who knows the history, culture, and geography of the region. Remember, 'You are not just a tourist!'
No matter how long you’ll be visiting Shanghai, I will definitely make you feel this way. If you are looking for a unique Shanghai experience, we can offer you an unforgettable one.
