What’s this tour about?
Shenzhen is known for skyscrapers and speed — but there’s a gentler side you probably haven’t seen.
Join me, a local-born photographer and city storyteller, on a relaxing afternoon walk through tradition, daily life, and panoramic views.
What we’ll explore:
- Huanggang Park
A calm green space with Chinese-style pavilions and hidden corners — a rare peaceful spot in busy Futian. - Shuiwei Urban Village
From village roots to food hotspot. We’ll explore the lanes and try some trending local snacks. - Lianhua Hill Park
A golden-hour climb to the Deng Xiaoping Statue with a sweeping view of the CBD — a perfect photo moment.
Why this tour is different:
- Guided by a native Shenzhener who’s watched the city transform
- Designed for curious minds and slow explorers
- Blends architecture, food, nature & stories
- Includes photo tips and lesser-known city spots
Why join me?

Come walk, talk, shoot, and watch the city turn golden together.
Guide: Tony
Guiding since 2025Hi, I'm Tony — born and raised in Shenzhen, or what we locals call a true “深二代” (second-generation Shenzhener)! While many guides can show you the city’s skyline and shopping malls, I offer something deeper: the stories behind the speed, the hidden spots behind the concrete jungle, and the everyday life of a city that never stopped reinventing itself.
🚀 I’ve watched Shenzhen grow from fishing village myths to global tech hub reality — and I’m proud to say I’ve lived through every upgrade. Think of me as your bilingual bridge between the past and the pulse of the present.
🌏 I've studied in US for 3 years and I'm also an avid traveler who has explored over 15 countries (US, France, Japan, Egypt, Azerbaijan… the list goes on!), so I understand what makes travel truly memorable: real conversations, unexpected detours, and moments that feel authentic. That’s the kind of tour I aim to give.
💬 Whether you're into architecture, food culture, street photography, hiking or nightlife, I love curating flexible, themed, customized walks based on your vibe — and I’m always up for a good chat.
Ready to see a side of Shenzhen that’s more than just skyscrapers and slogans? Let’s walk, talk, and explore like a local.
