About our travel guides
Practical information to help you prepare for China and choose the right support for your trip.
Find answers for each part of your trip
Start with the travel essentials for documents, payments, your phone and arrival. Destination guides cover sights, local food, places to stay, transport and itinerary ideas.
Use itinerary ideas as a starting point
The 1, 3, 7 and 10-day plans show how visits and travel days can fit together. We can change the stops, length and walking level for your own family or friends.
Check the details when you book
Use the official links beside entry, ticketing and transport instructions for applications and purchases. An attraction’s booking page gives its current admission options; your airline or railway booking gives your flight, train and station details.
Get local travel support
We provide private trip planning, airport and station transfers, private driver arrangements, English–Chinese interpretation and local accompaniment. You can request a complete trip or one service.
Using the maps
Map markers help you locate places and compare stops. Use a navigation app for street-level directions and the correct entrance.
Maps use OpenFreeMap, OpenMapTiles and OpenStreetMap data, with MapLibre and Leaflet. Photograph credits are listed on the photo credits page.
