We are an inbound operator, which means we are the people on the ground: the vehicle that meets you, the guide who explains what you are looking at, and the office that answers when something needs changing. Here is every way you can travel with us, and every piece of it you can book on its own.
No forced shopping. Not “mostly avoided”, not “optional stops” — zero shopping stops that you did not ask for, written into your contract before you pay.
We can say this because our guides are salaried rather than paid on commission, so no one in the vehicle is quietly hoping you will buy something.
Pick how you want the trip organized. Every one of these is private — you will never be added to a group of strangers to make the numbers work — and every one can be rearranged once you are here.
Travel with the people you chose and nobody else. Your own vehicle, your own guide, your own departure date — we never add strangers to a group to make numbers work.
Suited to Families, friends and colleagues traveling together
The promise international travelers ask us about first. No factory visits, no tea ceremonies that end in a salesroom, no cultural centers that turn out to be shops.
Suited to Anyone who has read a China tour review and felt nervous
A China trip that works for an eight-year-old and a seventy-year-old on the same day. Later starts, shorter transfers, hands-on stops, and hotel rooms that actually connect.
Suited to Families with children aged roughly 5 to 15
Traveling alone should not cost double. We run private itineraries for one person at an honest single rate, with a guide who knows when to explain things and when to leave you alone with the view.
Suited to Independent travelers who want local support
Two people, one car, no negotiating a schedule with strangers. The Great Wall before the coaches arrive, a quiet tea house in Hangzhou, a room with the right view — small upgrades that make the trip feel like yours.
Suited to Honeymoons, anniversaries and first trips to China
Built around light rather than opening hours. We start early, stay late, and put you on the right bank of the Li River while the fishermen are still working.
Suited to Landscape and street photographers at any level
For overseas Chinese families bringing children back to the village their grandparents left, and for school groups who want more than a sightseeing bus. Language, calligraphy, and a family tree filled in properly.
Suited to Overseas Chinese families, schools and youth groups
China has a long medical tradition and we treat it seriously rather than theatrically. A consultation with a licensed doctor, tai chi in the park at six in the morning, and food chosen to be kind to a traveler who is far from home.
Suited to Travelers interested in traditional medicine and slow travel
This one is a different job from a vacation, so we keep it separate. If you are here to source, we put a driver, an interpreter and a sourcing assistant behind you for the length of the visit.
A separate service for people who come to China to buy rather than to sightsee. We put a driver, an interpreter and a sourcing assistant behind you for the length of your visit — Yiwu, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and the factory floors in between.
Suited to Importers, buyers and small business owners
You do not have to buy a whole itinerary to use us. Many travelers arrange their own hotels and simply want a driver at the airport, a guide for two days, or someone to make the apps work on day one.
A driver waiting in the arrivals hall with your name, a vehicle sized to your luggage, and nothing to negotiate at the taxi rank. Airport, railway station, or a full day at your disposal.
Suited to Every arrival, departure and day trip
Licensed local guides who use English as a working language, and can explain a Ming tomb without reading from a card. Other languages are available on request, subject to city and season.
Suited to Anyone who wants the country properly explained
The part that trips visitors up. We set up mobile payment, put a working SIM in your phone, load a transport card, and install the maps and taxi apps that actually function in China — before you leave the hotel on day one.
Suited to First-time visitors who want day one to run smoothly
The Forbidden City and the Terracotta Army release timed entries that disappear within minutes, and popular trains sell out days ahead. We book them in Chinese on local platforms and hold them under your name.
Suited to Travelers who would rather not fight a Chinese booking app
Most inquiries start as a mixture. A family wants a private vehicle but also wants the panda experience; a photographer wants a driver but no guide talking through the shot; a buyer wants an interpreter for three days and the weekend off. That is normal — tell us the shape of the trip and we will quote it as one plan.
We reply to every inquiry within one business day.
An airport transfer, a guide for a week, or a private journey across four provinces — start with the one thing you need.
