    Hello! I’m a born-and-raised Xi’an local who is here to share the real Xi’an—the hidden alleyways, sizzling street food secrets, and untold stories of our 3,000-year-old city.

Let’s explore Xi’an together—not just as tourists, but as Xianers!

  • Juliette

    Hi there, I’m your local trilingual nightlife explorer in Xi’an! After university, I went to Germany and lived there for five years. I speak Chinese, English, and German, and I love talking with people from all over the world. I’m a super curious and open-minded person. I love food, culture, and good conversations. If you enjoy walking around, trying tasty snacks, and laughing a lot — we’ll get along just fine!

  • Rong

    Hi! In the past, I worked as an alcohol merchant, but now I’m happily retired. I love preparing delicious dishes, especially traditional Xi’an cuisine. If you’d like to experience authentic local flavors, I’d be delighted to invite you to my home for a homemade meal. Besides cooking, I’m also a fitness enthusiast. I go to the gym regularly, and this year, my goal is to complete a half-marathon! Let’s share good food, stories, and maybe even a workout session!
