Olivia · Turner

Hi! I’m Olivia Turner, Shanghai specialist at Deep China Travel. Born into a family of international educators, I grew up moving through Shanghai’s endless evolution—colonial relics, futuristic skyscrapers, and creative art districts. With a background in global studies, I’m passionate about both the high‑end and grassroots sides of the city: early‑morning tai chi in People’s Park, glitzy dinners atop the Bund, and late‑night jazz in hidden speakeasies. I design bespoke itineraries combining history tours through the French Concession, art gallery crawls in M50, and urban farm visits on Chongming Island. My writing focuses on Shanghai’s dual personality: the polished powerhouse and the emerging creative scene. I’m excited to help you navigate the city’s skyscrapers, street‑markets, and soulful moments in between.
