Hi! I’m Chen—a Shanghai native, architect, and fellow world traveler. Having lived and studied in the UK for two years and traveled to nearly 30 countries, I know firsthand what makes a travel experience truly memorable: connecting with locals and uncovering the authentic soul of a city. For 7 years, I worked as an architect in Shanghai. This background gives me a distinct lens to read the city—not just its soaring modern skyscrapers, but the hidden stories behind its historic Shikumen lanes, European-style concessions, and vibrant neighborhood streetscapes. I don't do cookie-cutter tourist routes. Instead, I offer immersive, friendly walks that blend fascinating urban design, rich local history, and Shanghai’s best-kept culinary secrets. Think of me as your knowledgeable local friend in Shanghai. Whether you want to explore the real life of the city or indulge in mouthwatering local food, I’m here to make your journey seamless, insightful, and fun. Let’s explore Shanghai together! Feel free to message me with your ideas or questions.
