Hi there, I'm Michelle, a local living in Shenzhen for 20 years. I love this city deeply and still like exploring every corner of it. There are a lot to share and I’m willing to show you. I studied in Austria, so I know some German. Later, I worked in international trade for years, which helped me become skilled at planning business trips. My passion for travel has taken me to 30+ countries. I am also into photography, hiking, salsa dancing etc. Meeting people from different cultures is great fun. Looking forward to meeting you.

Tour description

This is a flexible and chill tour with no rush. I’ll guide you through Shenzhen’s most unique spots from the perspective of a local resident. We’ll explore not only popular main attractions but also hidden gems that commercial tour groups don’t visit—places I believe truly show Shenzhen’s spirit. E.g. residential neighborhoods, local food, and scenic greenways.

Having lived here for over two decades, I love this city deeply and have never stopped discovering every corner of it. I’m confident I know Shenzhen better than many other residents and am passionate about sharing everything I’ve learned about this city. You can count on me!

Highlights of the tour include:
1.Citizen Center: Enjoy splendid urban skyline views.
2.Xia Sha: Experience striking contrasts between shopping malls, upscale residential areas, and urban villages, while tasting local delicacies.
3.Meilin Reservoir: Discover Shenzhen’s harmony between urban life and nature with an easy lakeside walk offering stunning city views.
