About Yedu
Yedu was founded by Shiqi Wang, born in Chongqing, ten years between Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Paris before moving home. Every route you see here, she designed and currently leads.
These walks are what she shows friends who visit: the city she actually knows, not the one on the postcard. Local residences, hidden playground, best tea & coffee places, parks with panoramic views that only locals know about.
Tours available in Cantonese, English, French, and Mandarin.

Response time: within 24 hours, usually faster.
What a Half-Day Looks Like
We meet at a metro station at 1:00 PM. For the next four hours, we walk:
3 to 4 hours of moving, with stops for tea, conversation, and all the hidden gems in the neighborhoods passing by.
No rushing between landmarks. No touristic traps. The pure discovery through a part of the city I know well, at a pace that lets you actually notice the pace of local life.
Expect staircases. Chongqing is vertical with multiple dimensions. Comfortable shoes are must!
We end around 5:00 PM, near a metro station and a good dinner spot I'll point you to.
