Philia · Greek for friendship

New to China?
Meet a local friend.

Not a tour guide. A young local who shows you their city: their food spots, their streets, their weekends.

The hosts

Pick who you'd vibe with.

Tap a host to sign up. We'll match you with them or with someone who fits you just as well.

How it works

Three steps to a local friend.

01

Tell us about you

Your city, your dates and your vibe. Takes two minutes.

02

We match you

We pair you with a host who shares your interests, and introduce you both.

03

Spend a day together

Meet somewhere public and see the city through their eyes.

Safety first

Simple rules, every time.

18+ onlyEvery traveller and host is an adult.
Video call firstWe talk to everyone before we match them.
Public first meetupYour first hangout is always somewhere public.
Everyone pays their own wayFriends, not a service. No one is paid to host you.

Your local friend is waiting.

Tell us where you're going. We'll find you someone who'll show you the real city.
