I have been living in Shenzhen over 13 years.Nomally I am avaliable on weekends. I love traveling and communicating with people from different countries.
I can offer a city guide for anybody who can speak English for 1 or 2 days. Besides I am a game designer and really love to play video games and e-sports games.
I have a car that can help transporting in the city.
Join me for a full-day walk through Shenzhen ā one of the youngest, fastest, and most surprising cities in the world. I'm a Shenzhen-based game designer who has spent the last few years exploring every corner of this city, and I want to show you the version I actually love: the green hills, the glass towers, the old villages, and the food that locals line up for after work.
This is a small-group experience (max 4 people) designed for English-speaking travelers who want more than a checklist. By the end of the day, you'll have seen Shenzhen's most iconic skyline, walked through a 1,700-year-old village, and eaten dishes you won't find in any guidebook.

A 20-minute climb takes us to the peak, where you'll see the full CBD skyline, the Civic Center, and on a clear day all the way across the bay to Hong Kong. I'll explain how a fishing village became the world's 4th-largest skyscraper city in 30 years.
