Our people
Every ChinaMira journey is led by a licensed guide who lives in the region, supported by travel designers who plan the days around weather, crowds and your energy.
Beijing
History graduate who has walked every accessible stretch of the wall around Beijing. Knows which gate opens first and where the crowds turn left.
Shanghai & the Yangtze delta
Grew up in the old French Concession and can explain a lane house, a soup dumpling and a 1920s bank facade in the same afternoon.
Zhangjiajie & Hunan
Mountain guide who watches the cloud forecast like a sailor watches the wind — and re-orders the day so you see the pillars, not the fog.
Lhasa & Tibet
Born outside Lhasa and licensed for Tibet tours. Handles permits, altitude pacing and the etiquette of monastery visits with quiet authority.
Chengdu & Sichuan
Cooking-school trained and endlessly patient with children. Will find you the best bowl of dan dan noodles within 500 metres of anywhere.
Xi'an & the Silk Road
Specialist in China's Muslim heritage and the Silk Road trade cities. Knows every halal kitchen between Xi'an and Kashgar.
Guide assignments are confirmed with your itinerary. Tell us the languages and subjects that matter to you and we will match the right person — including Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese and Korean speakers.
Every guide holds a national guide licence and is insured for the journeys they lead.
Guides are paid a proper day rate — not through shops, factories or staged performances.
Wherever possible the same guide stays with you across consecutive days, so you never re-explain your trip.
