Not another tourist checklist
Go beyond the places.
Go beyond the places.
Get to know the life.
We will not skip the famous places. But the strongest memories often happen between them — in places and situations I know from living here.
Life beneath the skyline
Underground cities and neighbourhoods of extremes
Millionaire enclaves, enormous underground malls and urban villages where daily life looks completely different.
Food without a stage set
Hotpot and places you’d walk past
Places chosen for flavour, not tourist visibility — plus reliable Western restaurants whenever you want a break.
Room to breathe
A slower side of southern China
Coastal walks, green hills and time by the sea. A private journey leaves room to slow down.
Technology photographs are illustrative. Specific demonstrations and access are checked when planning your trip.
Your programme adapts to your group, the weather and what is operating that day. A private trip does not have to follow a printed plan when a better opportunity appears.
From first idea to arrival
One person.
One person.

Quick answers
What people ask most
Do I need a visa?
Entry requirements depend on your passport, travel dates and route. For a 2027 journey, we check the rules for mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau before you confirm arrangements. Start with the preparation guide.
Will English be enough? And can I pay by card?
English works in many hotels but less reliably elsewhere — that is where personal help matters. Direct payments with a foreign physical card work only at some businesses. Alipay and WeChat Pay with an international card are usually the most practical options, with some cash as a backup. See the payment setup guide.
Is China safe for tourists?
Many visitors experience low levels of everyday street crime, but no trip is risk-free. Strict local laws, road traffic and regional restrictions still matter. Read the balanced China safety guide.
Can you help with Canton Fair or sourcing?
Yes. My separate Business in China service covers Canton Fair support, supplier sourcing, factory visits and interpreting across Shenzhen, Guangzhou and southern China.
What does the estimated stay budget mean?
It is a realistic, non-binding estimate per person for my preparation and guiding, a good 4-star hotel, planned local transport, agreed admissions and an ordinary food budget. It is not one package price or the price of a package holiday. International flights, insurance, shopping and personal spending are excluded.
Do I have to find hotels, transport and tickets myself?
No. I prepare a short list of suitable options and direct booking links, explain the sequence and check your confirmations. You make the final choice and pay the hotel, carrier or ticket provider directly, so you see the real supplier price and keep control of the standard.
