Meet Jacky: Your Guide in Hangzhou
A guide who plans your journey with an engineer's precision · 15 years hiking Hangzhou's trails
Hello, I am Jacky GONG.
Official Zhejiang Provincial Museum Docent & Private Guide | 15 Years Hiking Hangzhou | Classical Chinese Poetry
Hello, I'm Jacky GONG, a licensed English-speaking private guide in Hangzhou with 2+ years of professional guiding experience.
After 15 years planning projects and solving problems as an engineer, I turned my long-standing love of Hangzhou's history, museums, tea villages, and mountain trails into my full-time work.
I now lead private tours for travelers who want more than a rushed checklist. Whether you have one day, a 240-hour transit stay, or several days to explore at a slower pace, I'll help you build a route that is practical, personal, and easy to enjoy.

The Scholar's Eye 🏛️
As a licensed English-speaking private guide and official docent at the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, I turn Hangzhou's long history and culture into clear, engaging stories.
The Engineer's Precision 🗺️
Before guiding, I spent 15 years planning and solving problems as an engineer. That discipline shapes every tour: on-time pickups, realistic travel times, clear meeting points, and a calm backup plan if anything unexpected happens.
The Hiker's Trails 🥾
I've walked every major ridge around Hangzhou. I know the quiet tea-village paths and bamboo trails, and I pair each route with the tea and poetry that belong to that landscape.
My Philosophy: Travel Deep, Travel Slow
I believe that a true journey goes beyond typical tourist checklists. It is about understanding the history painted in ancient architecture, feeling the calm of a quiet bamboo forest, and listening to the stories that shaped this beautiful land. I design my tours to be unhurried, allowing you to truly connect with the culture at your own pace.
Whether you are looking for a deep dive into China's imperial history or simply a relaxing escape into the mountains of Hangzhou, I am here to make your vision a reality.
