I'm Liu Qing — a Shanghai local and the person behind this site. Send your dates, cities and interests and I'll turn them into a day-by-day plan: where to go in what order, how to get between stops, and where to eat. Free, and there is nothing to pay later either.
Tell me your dates, interests, allergies and budget. You'll get back a day-by-day schedule, restaurant picks for each meal, transport routes between every stop, Chinese addresses ready to paste into Didi, and a short list of what to do if something goes wrong.
Usually a couple of days, delivered by email. One person answering, so be patient. I do this to learn what people actually get stuck on — that is what the guides here get written from.
Already in China and something broke — a taxi refusing your card, a hotel that can't find your booking, a restaurant that won't take foreign Alipay? Message me and I'll help if I can, no charge.
Some things are better booked through a platform than through me — better prices, English support and refund protection. Those links are affiliate links: you pay the same price and this site earns a small commission.
