Hello! I'm Zhu, a Hangzhou native who earned my degree in the UK (mastering the art of tea drinking twice over!) and completed graduate studies in Australia (where I learned that not everything tries to kill you).
As a passionate historian who's called Hangzhou home for years, I transform ordinary sightseeing into cultural journeys. I'll share why West Lake inspired countless poets, which hidden pathways lead to the best views, and which local restaurants serve authentic dishes without tourist prices.

Photography tips for capturing Hangzhou's famous misty landscapes
Very interesting Canal experience.
I have been on many guided tours, but this one was truly something special. Special thanks go to Haichuan, whose approach was so friendly and warm that it felt as if we were spending time with a friend rather than simply being guided on a tour. He shared many fascinating stories, not only about the history of Hangzhou and the Grand Canal, but also about a variety of other topics, including the modern Chinese car industry, while we walked along the marvelous shores of the canal. We enjoyed the experience so much that after the tour, we even went for tea at his favorite tea bar and continued our conversation there. I sincerely hope to stay in touch with him, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a memorable and authentic experience. And by the way, his English is excellent. Matija
