Where we go

We operate these routes ourselves — not resold through a third party. Every itinerary can run as a small group or a private trip.

8–12 days · Urumqi · Kanas · Nalati · Kashgar

Xinjiang

Grassland, snow peaks, desert and bazaars — our home base, and the reason we started.

6–8 days · Xijiang · Huangguoshu

Guizhou

Miao and Dong villages, cave waterfalls, and China's best-kept slow travel.

4–5 days · Li River · Yangshuo

Guilin

Karst peaks, rice terraces and river mornings — the easiest first trip into China.

8–10 days · Lhasa · Namtso

Tibet

Potala Palace, high lakes and monastery mornings. Tibet permit handled for you.

5–7 days · Chengdu · Jiuzhaigou

Sichuan

Pandas, turquoise lakes and Sichuan kitchens — food travel at its best.

Why travellers book with us

Three things we do differently

An interpreter on the road, not just at the airport

Thai, English and Chinese speaking guides and interpreters travel with the group for the whole trip — at restaurants, hospitals and border checkpoints. Nothing gets lost in translation.

Land-only packages (落地散)

Already have flights, or joining friends already in China? Take the ground part only: hotels, transport, tickets, guide. We also take single services — an airport transfer, a guide for a day, a van for a week.

Small groups: 4–15 guests

No 40-seat coaches, no waiting for strangers. Groups are capped at 15 and private departures start from 2 guests. Fixed itinerary, fixed price, written into the contract.

✓Right for you if…

You want a private guide and your own vehicle, not a fixed group
You are travelling with family, older parents, or a group of 8 or fewer
You want a written quote and a named hotel list before paying

–Probably not, if…

You are looking for the cheapest group tour — those usually include shopping stops
You only need a flight or a hotel room, with no ground service
You want to change the plan every day without telling us in advance

For Muslim travellers — halal routes

Company details

Check us before you pay

Most of what you were told in a chat cannot be checked. These four can. Ask for any of them and we will send the documents.

Licensed inbound operator

Travel agency business licence L-XJ-CJ00xxx, inbound tourism within scope, ¥200,000 quality deposit paid.

Company bank account

Payments go to the company account, never to a personal one. Contract and invoice in the company name.

Insurance included

Agency liability insurance plus travel accident cover for every guest on tour.

A real office, real people

Urumqi office, open to visits. Ask for a video call with the operations team before paying.

Practical

Before you fly

Visa

Thai, Malaysian and Singaporean passports: visa-free, 30 days per entry (90 days in any 180). We confirm the current rule for your passport in writing.

Money

Alipay and WeChat Pay accept foreign cards. We set both up with you on arrival — many shops no longer handle cash easily.

Internet

Buy an eSIM before you fly. LINE, WhatsApp and Google work on a roaming eSIM; hotel Wi-Fi usually cannot reach them.

Tibet & border areas

Tibet needs a permit arranged through us, plus a guide — we handle the paperwork. Some Xinjiang border villages are closed to foreign passports; we route around them and say so upfront.

Questions we get every week

FAQ

Do you run shopping-stop commission trips?

No. We don't run shopping stops at all. If a shop appears in your itinerary it is because you asked for it — and it is written into the itinerary.

Can I join if I already booked my flights?

Yes — that is our land-only package (落地散). Send us your arrival date and we build the itinerary around it.

How many people are in a group?

Small groups run 4–15 guests. Private trips start from 2. We never merge you into a 40-person coach group.

Can I get a Thai-speaking guide?

It is standard on our Thai-market departures, not a paid extra. If your dates don't match a Thai-speaking departure, we tell you before you pay — not after.

Do you arrange Tibet permits?

Yes. Foreign passport holders need a Tibet Travel Permit arranged through a licensed agency, plus a guide for the whole stay. That is part of the booking.

Send us your month and group size

You get a written itinerary and a fixed quote back — not a brochure.
