Experienced Destinations

  • Shanghai

    Welcome to the fascinating city that I have called home for the past 13 years. As a seasoned explorer, I am familiar with all the hidden gems, cultural diversity and history and can serve as your guide during your visit. Let me be the most resourceful go-to person to explore the possibilities and showcase this top city from my unique perspective, so you don’t fall for the cliche touristy traps.

  • Suzhou

    There is a neighboring city to Shanghai which is just a 20-minute high-speed train ride away. This city is located in the Jiangsu Province and is one of the 17 megacities in China. It is well-known for its UNESCO heritage-listed Classical Gardens. As your assistant, I can help you with arranging your transportation and creating an itinerary that includes all the must-see attractions.

  • Hangzhou

    Another classic neighbouring city from Shanghai (170km, 105 miles) famous for its historical West Lake scenic area, China National Silk Museum, ancient towns, and many other hidden nature outdoor adventures such as mountain bike park, hiking trails, and river cruise. I can connect you with local English-speaking tour guide and pre-book tickets to the attractions.

  • Beijing

    The vibrant capital of China is a perfect destination for families seeking rich history, cultural experience, and modern attractions. From exploring the Great Wall to the majestic Forbidden City, Summer Palace, and the maze-looking hutongs with rickshaws, April and late September are the best time to visit. And the local food are the best that I often crave.

  • Yunnan

    Southwestern China's mystical province is home to diverse ethnic minorities like Tibetans and Dais. Lijiang and Shangri-la are popular destinations that offer breathtaking natural beauty, from Tiger Leaping Gorge adventures to Xishuangbanna tropical relaxation. The views are stunning, and the climate is mild throughout the year, which I’d highly recommend.

  • Hainan

    The Hawaii of China, is a tropical paradise, with beach parties and resorts, even with its high-speed train on the Island. Water sports, snorkelling, and duty-free shopping! It is a paradise to many, but you don’t always have to stay in a 5-star resort in Sanya, there are way more spots to discover on this Island such as Wenchang, Wanning and Houhai. The unique food culture is also iconic.

  • Hong Kong

    My home where I was born and raised, neighbour to Macao and Shenzhen, is compact but has so much to offer both metropolis and natural beauty in one tiny place, I provide both must-sees and hidden gems recommendations, transportation tips, must-try food, street food and snacks, innovative museums and shopping hot spots, or anything you desire. Ask my anything about Hong Kong!

    I travelled with M2adventure to multiple destinations including Gongga Mountain in Sichuan and Inner Mongolia Grassland.
