About Lily
Certified · Passionate · Local
Hi, I'm Lily
I'm a licensed, professional English-speaking private guide based in Shanghai. For years, I've been helping travelers from all over the world go beyond the guidebooks and discover the city I love — its hidden lanes, its living history, its incredible food, and its warm, welcoming people.
I believe travel should feel personal. Every guest I welcome brings different interests, a different pace, and a different idea of what makes a perfect day. My job is to listen, adapt, and craft an experience that feels made just for you.
Whether you have a single afternoon or a full week, I'll make sure you leave Shanghai with memories that last a lifetime — not just photos of famous landmarks, but real moments of connection with this extraordinary city.
