Dear guest : Welcome to Shanghai. My name is Qinqin and I am a licensed English-speaking national tour guide. I graduated in 2007 with English education and toursim major. After graduation, I moved to Shanghai and work as an export sales in a Taiwanese company which allows me to have a good understanding of international trades. Since 2010 the year of Shanghai World Expo, I started to work as a freelancer and provide private tour guide service and business translation & interpretation services. After work and live in Shanghai more than decades, I have gained an in-depth knowledge of the local history and culture and i'd love to share with every guest. I am specialized in operating private and customized tours in and around Shanghai including Shanghai city tour ; water town tours ( Zhujiajiao tour, Zhouzhuang tour, Tongli tour, Xitang tour, Nanxun tour, Wuzhen tour etc ) ; Suzhou city tour ; Hangzhou city tour; Yellow Mountain tour, etc for solo travelers, families, friends group, company groups. etc . Most guests comment my tours " like traveling with a close friend or a family member". Besides, I also offer business translation & interpretation service for exhibitions, factory visits and business meetings. sourcing, market research, business negotiation, business trip planing service. Also we have a group of professional drivers who are prompt, courteous and drive well-maintained vehicles and who can provide private transfer service for your Shanghai trip such as airports/train stations transfer, business trip to surrounding areas around Shanghai, day out around Shanghai etc. I am a happy , positive , caring and passionate person. I love traveling to see different parts of the world that I believes it is one of the important things in life: travel broadens the mind and enriches the soul.

Overview of your Shanghai tour

 Have you ever heard about Chinese Venice ? As you may know there are several ones in and around Shanghai such as Zhujiajiao, Zhouzhuang, Tongli, Wuzhen, Xitang, Nanxun, etc. Personally I like Tongli the most since it is still well-preserved, not as commercial as others. She is like a quite and gentle lady and patiently waiting for your arrival to show her unique beauty. Let's get away from the bustling city and Slowly down your pace to be one day Tongli people. Walk through long, narrow, rugged and uneven flagstone paved alleys to smell the flavors from local kitchens, talk with locals while sitting in Chinese "gondola " through the ancient canals, try some local cuisines for lunch, have a sip of tea from Qing Dynasty's tea house and enjoy local operas. Though you may not understand a single word , I guarantee you enjoy listening the tones. It will be a unforgettable day of your China trip.

Thanks to our friendly tour guide Qinqin, we were able to enjoy a day in beautiful Tongli. We learned a lot about the history of the town and got lots of nice photos on this trip. We would definitely recommend this private tour with Qinqin if you are in the Shanghai area.

We had a wonderful day with Qinqin. Tongli was absolutely beautiful. Qinqin is very knowledgeable and fun to travel with. She really made life in Tongli come alive and exposed us to experiences we would never have had on our own. Her English is excellent. I would highly recommend her as a guide!

Qinqin was very helpful with all our queries from the time of booking request until the day of the tour. Her English is very good and understandable and she is also very knowledgeable and friendly. We used this tour on the day of disembarking our cruise in Boashan as our flight was at 23.30hrs later that evening. Would highly recomend this tour or Qinqin for any other available tours.

Qinqin could not have been more professional- both in helping us shape our day together- via correspondence prior to leaving for China and during our day together- she was sensitive to what was important to us and our eating preferences- her insights on China and personal warmth were much appreciated. We had a truly great experience.
