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.
Choose me as your guide for:
Seamless communication in perfect English (though Scottish accents still confuse me!)
Fascinating historical stories that bring ancient sites to life
Comfortable private transportation throughout your journey
Personalized itineraries that match your interests and cultural background
Insider access to spots even travel blogs haven't discovered
Photography tips for capturing Hangzhou's famous misty landscapes
Zhu has been a fantastic guide who became a friend. He tailored his entire trip to us. We loved everything from learning about the Grand Canal to seeing the authentic life at a nearby food market and community buildings. Zhu was so generous. He answered all of our questions with enthusiasm. He was so kind to even help us with an Alipay issue. We finished the tour feeling grateful, fulfilled, and full of energy to keep coming back to see Hangzhou. This was the best tour we could have ever hoped for, and we recommend Zhu as a guide to everyone visiting Hangzhou. His English and interpersonal skills are amazing, and his positive energy shines through
Hai Chuan is an amazing host, exceeds my expectation by leaps and bounds. This young man is very enthusiastic about sharing his city with us. He speaks very good English having lived overseas for 7 years. He shares the history as we walk and also point out great vantage point to talk pictures. I have invited him and family to my hometown, Penang so I can reciprocate his kindness. Thank you very much. Hai chuan
Zhu was great. He took us for interesting spots alongside the canal while explaining the history. We like that he took us to the museum as well to visualize the history as well. We'll recommend!!
The guide and the tour were excellent. Zhu is very knowledgeable, The information about the grand canal and its importance were a surprise to us. This tour and its guide are highly recommended.
Di Guru walk ne abbiamo fatti tanti, ma una guida così simpatica e disponibile è stata tutt’altra esperienza! Fin dal primo momento ci siamo sentiti coccolati e immersi nella vita locale. Nonostante fosse il suo primo tour, ha reso il tutto interessante ed indimenticabile. Ogni singolo spot meritava di essere visto. Tour e guida assolutamente consigliati!
