Hello, I'm Jin, a licensed English-speaking tour guide based in Shanghai. For more than 15 years, I have been helping visitors discover Shanghai and eastern China. During those years, I realized that my greatest passion is not simply guiding tours—it's creating personalized journeys that match each guest's interests, travel style and available time. I believe every visitor is different, so every itinerary should be different. Whether it's your first visit to Shanghai or you're returning to discover something new, I enjoy combining the city's famous highlights with authentic local experiences that many visitors would never find on their own. Of course, we'll visit iconic places such as The Bund, Yu Garden or Shanghai Tower if that's what you'd like. But some of my favorite moments happen away from the crowds—walking through historic Shikumen neighborhoods, watching local residents practice Tai Chi in the park, visiting a traditional wet market or sharing dumplings in a neighborhood restaurant. These authentic experiences have become one of the reasons guests remember their day with me long after they return home. Another specialty is my Layover Tours. If you have five hours or more between flights, I can help you turn your stopover into one of the highlights of your journey, with an itinerary carefully planned around your flight schedule. From our first conversation until the end of your visit, I enjoy working together to create a day that reflects your interests and pace. Guest reviews consistently mention my flexibility, communication and attention to detail, and I believe those qualities are just as important as local knowledge. I look forward to welcoming you to Shanghai and helping you discover the city through the eyes of a local.

Overview of your Shanghai tour

Welcome to modern Shanghai! Pudong is the newest part of the city. In just over 30 years, it has grown from farmland into one of the world's most impressive financial districts. On this tour, I will show you how this amazing transformation has changed Shanghai. We will visit famous landmarks, enjoy beautiful views of the Huangpu River and discover the city's amazing architecture. If you are interested in science and innovation, we can also visit the newly reopened Shanghai Science and Technology Museum. If shopping is more your style, we can spend more time at the famous Fake Market instead. This is my suggested tour. If you would like to change the itinerary, just let me know. I will be happy to adjust the tour to match your interests, pace and available time. Would you also like to discover the history of Shanghai? My Historic Shanghai tour is the perfect complement to this experience.
