The wall at dawn.
The train by lunch.

We plan the long routes through China — the ones that need a car, a guide, three trains and someone who knows which temple gate opens at seven. We do it from inside the country.

Signature routes

Journeys we run most often

Fixed shapes, flexible dates. Each one is a real working itinerary — the same version our guides carry, not a marketing summary.

All 38 journeys

China now

The part nobody warns you about

Most guides describe China as it was. Here is what actually changes your day: the trains, the payments, the hours, the safety.

01 — Rail

You can cross the country before dinner

Beijing to Shanghai is 4h 18m at 350 km/h. Your passport is your ticket: no printing, no counter, no queue. We book the exact carriage and seat direction so you face forward with the view.

High-speed network48,000 km
02 — Payment

Your card works. Your cash barely does.

Link a Visa or Mastercard to Alipay or WeChat Pay before you fly and the whole country opens: metro gates, street stalls, temple tickets, a ¥3 bottle of water. Set it up in ten minutes at home.

03 — Hours

2am is a normal hour to eat

Cities stay awake. Night markets, 24-hour noodle shops, convenience stores on every block, and streets that stay lit and busy long after the last train.

Late-night safetyConsistently high
04 — Visas

You may not need a visa at all

30-day visa-free entry for much of Europe, Australia and New Zealand; 240-hour transit for the US, UK and others. The rules moved twice this year, so we check them against your passport before you book flights.

How we work

A planner, a guide, and a phone number that answers

We are an operator, not a marketplace. The person who quotes your trip is in the same office as the team that runs it on the ground.

01

You send dates and a rough plan

No forms with forty fields. A sentence about who is coming and what you want to see is enough to start.

02

We reply with a real itinerary

Day by day, with the trains named, the hotels priced and the driving times honest. One revision round is included before you commit.

03

We operate it ourselves

Our guides, our drivers, our 24-hour line. If a flight moves, the person who fixes it works for us.

Booking a long route?

Peak dates in July, August and early October sell out eight to twelve weeks ahead. Send dates early and we can hold hotels while you decide.

Check availability

Tell us the trip you have in mind.

Dates, a rough budget, the places you refuse to skip. A planner in China answers personally, usually the same day.
