Hi there, Ni hao! My name is Patrick- a typical Chinese name. Haha, joke aside, first time I heard the name of "Patrick" was almost 30 years ago when I was watching NBA, I am sure you also know Patrick Ewing who played for NewYork Knicks. Such a cool name, I love it! I have been living past 19 years in Shanghai city, China. After working as a full-time English-speaking tour guide for 15 years here, I am still 199% passionate about my job. I have a good command of English because I majored in English, and trust me that I know the city inside out! So now I am more than glad to present you some day tours covering a lot of must-see places in Shanghai city and around Shanghai. I am sure it will be the most efficient and fun way to explore new things with a local guide like me. Moreover, I am very flexible and willing to customize the itinerary based on your interest. In July 2018, I bought a brand new GM Buick van with 7 passenger seats, it is spacious and comfortable, I am a good driver too, so you are in a very safe hand. The city of Shanghai is like no one else, it is a mix of the old and the new, the east and the west, I can not wait to see you under my turf. -Government certified guide -Bachelor of English -Driver's license I have no restrictions guiding tours in my area.

Overview of your Shanghai tour

Built in 514 B. C. , the city of Suzhou still stands at its original location. Well-preserved are its double chessboard layout of "water and land in parallel, canals and streets in neighbor", "small bridge, flowing water, white wall, black tiles". Suzhou city is a renowned cultural, historic and tourist city, home to over 100 traditional Chinese gardens. -Celebrated for its superb handling of architectural space, the Lingering Garden serves as a fine specimen of ancient Chinese garden, and a Glimpse at 'Cloud-capped Peak' will help you understand why the Chinese do not see rocks the way Westerners do. -Walking on the Shantang street and surrounding area is almost like going back in time. -The leaning pagoda on top of Tiger hill, the sword pond and numerous historic inscriptions, buildings and sites will be a feast for both your eyes and minds.
