Hi, I’m Shawn, a local walking tour guide based in Lanzhou, China. Lanzhou is a city shaped by the Yellow River, Silk Road history, and a unique mix of cultures from Northwest China. On my tours, I focus on helping travelers see the city beyond the surface — not just landmarks, but the everyday life, food culture, and stories that make Lanzhou distinctive. I enjoy keeping tours relaxed, interactive, and easy to follow. Whether it’s walking along the Yellow River, exploring old streets, or introducing local Lanzhou beef noodles in the place they were born, I aim to give you a grounded, authentic experience of the city. My goal is simple: help you understand Lanzhou in a way that guidebooks usually don’t. Looking forward to walking with you.
