Hi :), I’m Lei. I used to work as a journalist for a national media outlet, where I wrote millions of words of news stories. Today, I am a university lecturer and a licensed English-speaking tour guide.
I hold a master’s degree in journalism and communication, which has shaped the way I look at the world: always curious, always asking where things come from and why they became what they are. My daily reading covers history, politics, society, religion, and ethnic cultures, and I like to approach every journey with an anthropological eye.
I am also a long-time Ashtanga yoga practitioner. This practice has taught me discipline, mental clarity, and a calmer, more mindful way of observing the world.
During my travels in Kyoto, Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Agra, Singapore, and many other cities, I joined city walks led by locals. I fell in love with this way of travelling: slow, personal, story-rich, and full of unexpected details. Later I thought, why not offer the same kind of experience in my own city?
With me, you will go beyond the obvious sights and step into Kunming’s most hidden yet everyday corners. You will feel the city’s unique laid-back spirit, something quite different from any other provincial capital in China.
In the world of travel, Yunnan is still an underrated and unpolished gem. Let’s discover its beauty slowly, together.
