About Us

Chinese Lanterns

Shenzhen Tianren Technology & Education Co., Ltd. (深圳天任科技教育有限公司) is a Shenzhen-based tech start-up dedicated to building practical, human-centred apps that help foreign visitors feel confident and at home in China. Our team brings together experience in technology, travel and education to bridge cultural and digital gaps in everyday life. We are proud to be building on cutting-edge AI technologies and to be contributing, in our own way, to the ongoing development of AI for real-world use.

Our vision is simple yet ambitious: to encourage more travellers to experience the true depth of China's culture, from its rich history to its vibrant contemporary life.

Our apps aim to simplify travel in China, addressing common challenges like language barriers, connectivity and navigation.

Travellers can access tailored tips, practical guides and solutions to everyday travel obstacles, making their journey as smooth as possible. For those moments when things get tricky, our AI-driven image recognition tool allows users to upload photos for real-time assistance, offering guidance and answers like having a knowledgeable local by your side.

We believe China has so much more to offer than meets the eye, from breathtaking landscapes and storied history to its modern conveniences and highly connected lifestyle.

We're here to reveal a side of China that may differ from common perceptions - a vibrant, evolving nation that we are excited to share with the world.
