Hi amigos, welcome to Shanghai! I’m Summer, before becoming a tour guide in 2024 , I was sitting in an office doing data analysis. I was good at it — but I missed the streets. I grew up in restaurants. My parents ran all kinds of places: a noodle shop, Chinese restaurants, a hot pot place, even a barbecue spot. Food, noise, people — that everyday energy — that’s what I love. In 2022, I quit my job and started traveling around the world. It was in Granada, Spain that I decided to try becoming a tour guide!! I'm very lucky that I’ve explored 30 provinces across China and 20+ countries around the world, and Shanghai is my favorite and base town, What I hope is simple — through my tour,to see the real life of the city: what locals do, eat, love, and care about. Shanghai won’t just feel like another big city to you, but a place you connect with, a place where you have your own memories.❤️

Tour description

Curious why 27 million people choose to live in Shanghai? a bit tired of crowded attractions？

Come explore the real city with me — Summerhaha, your slightly obsessed (with food) local expert.

This is not a typical tour. Just real food, real neighborhoods, and real Shanghai life.

Part 1: 🍜 Eat like a local: we’re going where locals actually eat — every day.

➡️China: a meat lover’s country or a vegetarian paradise?

➡️Can a 2 RMB ice cream really beat gelato?

➡️Handmade dumplings from a neighborhood auntie

➡️Regional Chinese pancakes you’ve probably never seen before

➡️Chinese desserts… surprisingly not always sweet

➡️And why Shanghai has 10,000+ coffee shops？

Part 2 🏙️ See the city beyond the surface: this is the Shanghai most visitors never notice.

➡️A real local supermarket — how many things can you actually recognize😄

➡️A fancy Apple store next to a golden Buddhist temple — which is more popular?

➡️A community center with a library, gym… and it's FREE?!
