Tour guide in Shanghai Claire S.

Ni Hao, my name is Claire. My family moved to Shanghai 100+ years ago, and I was born and grew up in Shanghai, I've also lived in Australia, US and Europe for 10+ years - a true local with a twist! Shanghai is a booming megalopolis blending the East and West, and ancient times with modernity. We'll embark on an exciting expedition in this world's most visited city with innovative architectures and rich history from an unique local angle, that goes unknown to many, from the garden arts and spiritual cultivation of Yu Garden, the untold anecdotes of former French Concession, Feng shui in the iconic Bund, Zodiac ceremony in City God Temple, to rowing boats and authentic food in Zhouzhuang Water Town, and traditional Chinese wellness approach of cultivating the vital life energy (or "qi" ) — whether it's Herbs, Qi Gong, or Tea Ceremony for longevity, rejuvenation and peaceful mind. I specialized in Chinese culture and wellness with a wide knowledge of Chinese philosophy, arts, architectures, self-cultivation, Chinese traditional medicine and Chinese tea. As a Chinese culture ambassador, I had led many PRIVATE cultural tours in China for executives, top universities and independent cultural travelers with my humorous English in the past decade. I mainly offer tours in Shanghai and cities nearby——Suzhou and Hangzhou, along with customized tours designed to meet your specific needs. Join my tour if you are interested in horticulture, architecture, wellness or seeking spiritual and philosophical depth. Look forward to explore world's oldest continuous civilization and its wisdom with you. - National Licensed Tour guide - Australian permanent resident - Bachelor in Architecture & Design from University of Technology Sydney - Certification in Chinese Traditional Medicine from National Health Commission of the PRC - Certification in Acupuncture from China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences N/A
