Hi, I'm YiYi living in Shenzhen, I’m a co-founder of a small tech startup producing innovative electric products. I love to travel, collect funny stories, experiences and share. It’s a good thing that we still stay curious about the world and always would like to offer help.

【Hi guys! As we are rolling out small electronic products for daily use, we are very excited to invite you to become our product testers! (Currently open to the North American region, other regions will be gradually available.) We will be giving out samples for free, if you are interested, please feel free to contact me!】

Currently my room is not available, however, if you need any travel suggestions in Mainland China, I would like to help!
Maybe I won’t reply so fast due to the busy work, but I’ll try :D

【some travel tips in China】
1. Google services, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram can't be used in the mainland of China without VPN, if you need a map app, search "百度地图（Baidu Map）” in App Store, if you need to search anything, you can use" www.bing.com"or "www.baidu.com"

2. In case of language problem, I recommend an app called "有道翻译官” search key words "youdao", it supports over 100 languages and you can even use voice input to get a real-react.(it's a Chinese app so the operation interface is still Chinese language, I made an instruction pic in my profile in case you can't get how to use it through the icons:D)

3. Almost everything is done through phone here, like purchasing, taking subway, ordering dishes in a restaurant, unlock a sharing bike in the street,etc. but most of them don’t work without a Chinese bank account; However, You can still use "大众点评”（search keyword：dazhong dianping）to find the best local restaurants/ cafes around (it's just like yelp, suuuuuper useful! We local people literally use it EVERYDAY ）

4. We DON'T eat dogs. (And plz don't ask Chinese people about this, it's kind of embarrassing..)
