🌇Old Souls & New Skylines: A Cultural Stroll in Futian
Hi, 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.
