Your Guide · Chengdu, China
Hi, I'm Luna — Your local guide to the Chengdu that guidebooks miss.
Born and raised in Chengdu. Left at 18 and spent the next decade living abroad — including years in Shanghai and Beijing, and time living overseas. I've been a stranger in enough cities to understand what it actually feels like to arrive somewhere new and not know where to begin.
Before becoming a guide, I spent five years in product and user operations at one of China's major internet companies — learning how to design experiences that actually work for real people. I think about every walk the same way: what does this person actually need, and how do I deliver it.
After half a lifetime living away from Chengdu, I came back and realized: nowhere compares. Not for the food, not for the pace of life, not for the way the city makes you feel. I became a guide because I couldn't stop telling people how good it is here — and at some point, it made more sense to just show them.
