What you can expect

You’ve tried Dim Sum,Yum Cha in London or SF. Now try it where it was born — Guangdong.
Explore the authentic Cantonese food scene of Shenzhen on a 3–3.5 hour tasting tour through the heart of Nanshan District. To taste dishes that have been perfected over generations — the kind of flavors that first traveled overseas with Guangdong immigrants and became the foundation of Chinatowns around the world.
Then, walk through Nanguo / OCT or Nantou Ancient Town,here you’ll notice the shift from modern Shenzhen’s sleek skyline to the low-rise, old-world streets that still hold the city’s culinary soul. From a bustling barbecue house to a hidden dessert shop — each chosen for its commitment to doing one thing right.

Sample the real versions of dishes you thought you knew: silky rice rolls that dissolve on your tongue (nothing like the thick, doughy ones abroad), crispy-skinned roast meats that crackle with every bite, and slow-simmered broths that take hours, not minutes. End with a traditional Cantonese sweet soup or double-layered milk custard — the kind of dessert that doesn’t travel well, which is exactly why you need to have it here.
Along the way, your guide will share how Yum Cha traveled from Guangdong teahouses to London, New York, and Sydney — and why the original is still worth the trip. You’ll leave not just full, but with a genuine taste of why Guangdong is called the birthplace of Chinese cuisine overseas.
