I’m Eddie, a social butterfly with a global soul. Growing up in Guilin, China’s version of Yosemite, I love outdoors and exploring new things. After living across the US, Europe, and Singapore, I returned to the serene forests of my hometown, though you’ll often catch me on the move between Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.

I created ButterflyEddie.com to show the world the full spectrum of modern China, a country defined by breathtaking contrasts.

Beyond the iconic ancient history of Beijing’s Great Wall and Xi’an’s Terracotta Warriors, or the legendary landscapes of Guilin, Zhangjiajie, and Chongqing, China is driving global innovation. Tech hubs like Hangzhou and Shenzhen are home to game-changers like Alibaba, DeepSeek, Labubu, Tencent, DJI, Vivo, OPPO and etc.

Through our curated journeys and Shenzhen Tech City Walks, we take you beyond the postcards to experience China’s rich heritage, stunning nature, and futuristic tech scene all at once.

Welcome to my home, and let’s discover China together.
