Greetings! My name is Michael, and I'm a passionate and experienced tour guide based in the dynamic city of Shanghai. As a graduate of the Shanghai Institute of Tourism, I've spent my career sharing the beauty and stories of this incredible city with travelers from all over the world. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, I'm dedicated to providing a personalized and unforgettable experience. My love for what I do comes through in every tour, and I take pride in treating every customer—from VIPs to solo adventurers—with the same care and enthusiasm. I specialize in creating bespoke, private tours that are tailored to your interests and pace. Over the past 25 years, I have honed my skills in hospitality and customer service, including extensive experience with shore excursions for the last two and a half years. My tours are always designed as private experiences to ensure you get the most out of your time in Shanghai, and I never combine groups. For your convenience, I can also arrange private transportation through my network of reliable contacts.

Overview of your Shanghai tour

Nanbei Lake, located 145 kilometers southwest of Shanghai, serves as an excellent alternative to West Lake. Though its area is only one-third that of West Lake, its water shape is nearly identical. Moreover, it is closer to Shanghai, free from traffic congestion woes, and far less crowded—offering a much quieter and more comfortable visiting experience compared to the bustling West Lake. On our way to Nanbei Lake, we will first visit Moshi Manor, a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level. At the end of the itinerary, as the lights come on at dusk, we will arrive at Xitang Ancient Town—known as the most beautiful waterfront town in Jiangnan at night. After getting used to the dazzling night views of big cities, you can immerse yourself in the charming allure of the waterfront town at night and experience its unique simplicity and romance.
