Emily · Parker

Hello! I’m Emily Parker, your dedicated Beijing travel specialist at Deep China Travel. With over 8 years of living and exploring in China’s capital, I’m passionate about uncovering the stories behind every hutong, temple, and imperial palace. My journey began when I arrived in Beijing as a university student studying Chinese history; since then, I have immersed myself in local customs, cuisine, and culture. Whether you’re drawn to the grandeur of the Forbidden City, the tranquility of the Temple of Heaven, or the vibrant street life of Sanlitun, I’m here to guide you. On weekends, you’ll find me scouring old markets for hidden treasures or hiking along the less-traveled sections of the Great Wall. I’ve also led dozens of bespoke tours—ranging from family-friendly trips to deep cultural explorations. My goal? To help visitors experience the real Beijing: a dynamic city where ancient traditions blend seamlessly with modern life. Join me as we discover the essence of Beijing together.
