Hi, I'm Edison, an English-speaking private guide based in Yunnan, China. I lived in Canada for 10 years, which helps me understand what many international travelers care about when visiting China: clear communication, flexible planning, local insight, comfortable pacing, and fewer surprises along the way. I speak fluent English and Mandarin, and I enjoy helping guests experience China in a way that feels smooth, personal, and authentic. I specialize in private, customized tours in Yunnan, including Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, local markets, food experiences, tea culture, ethnic minority cultures, ancient towns, mountain landscapes, and scenic countryside routes. Whether you are visiting Yunnan for a few days or adding it to a longer China trip, I can help shape the itinerary around your interests, pace, and travel style. My guiding style is relaxed, practical, and personal. I do not rush guests from one stop to another. I like to give you time to enjoy the places you connect with, understand the stories behind them, try real local food, and experience daily life beyond the standard tourist route. I can also help with the parts of traveling in China that often feel confusing for foreign visitors, such as transportation, timing, tickets, restaurant choices, translation, local etiquette, and day-to-day logistics. My goal is to make your trip feel easy and comfortable while still keeping it meaningful and memorable. If you enjoy nature, culture, photography, food, or simply exploring at a comfortable pace with a local who understands both Chinese and Western cultures, I would be happy to guide you through Yunnan. I look forward to helping you experience Yunnan in a smooth, personal, and memorable way.

Transportation will be arranged based on your group size and travel needs. For small groups, I may use a comfortable private car; for larger groups, I can arrange a spacious SUV or minivan with a licensed local driver.
