Most of the best experiences in China happen in places where little English is spoken — wet markets, family-run restaurants, tea farms, small shops. I come along as your personal interpreter, so you can chat with vendors, order exactly what you want, bargain with confidence and ask locals all the questions you're curious about. I also help with practical situations like pharmacies, train stations, banks and hotels.
