YourGuide Destination Consultant
Elaine is a lady who has seen a lot of China. Originally from Singapore, she has lived in what is effectively three Chinas: the affluent Special Administrative Region that is Hong Kong, the independent breakaway state that is Taipei, and the Communist Republic that is mainland China.
Being Singaporean means that her own ancestry is Chinese, and she speaks fluent Mandarin. Before joining her husband Wilfred in Guangzhou in January 2002, she worked in a wide range of industries – from telecoms through interior designers to electronic systems companies, many of them American or European-owned.
The result of this extensive experience is a unique ability to look at China through a Chinese perspective, a corporate one, and an inquisitive expatriate one.
She looks forward to opening up the mysteries of this astonishing city to you – with its teeming streets, non-stop noise, strange foods and odours, bright colors and ancient traditions and beliefs. Whether helping you find a home, a school, a language course, or your first friends, Elaine’s support will be invaluable.
She looks forward to welcoming you to Guangzhou.
