Independent China travel at your own pace

China is a hot and happening travel destination. A new and modern China is being built in record time; yet at the same time the country's history and traditions are still very much alive. There is no time like the present to travel in China independently. Remote areas are now accessible; roads, railways and airports are being built in an effort to improve the country’s infrastructure.

Standard package deals in groups are no longer your only choice of travel in China. Let us arrange the basics prior to your departure: transport, excursions and an English speaking representative. The rest of the trip is yours to plan as you wish using our independent China travel modules. Stay in small scale typical Chinese style hotels and meet the locals. Spend the night in a ‘hutong’ (courtyard) hotel, at the home of a Tibetan family or in a guest house amidst rice fields. Spend your days on bike rides over the city wall in the ancient capital of Xi'an or on a boat on a river between the karst mountains at Yangshuo. Almost anything is possible.

Create your own customised independent China trip by choosing from our wide selection of travel experiences or China tours. Our travel modules lasts two to three days and take you to the most unforgettable locations. We offer the perfect combination between flexibility and convenience. Whether you create an active China trip or a relaxing China holiday, it's completely up to you. Arrange as little or as much as you wish. 

We also offer China itineraries; combinations of modules that allow you to experience travel in China for two, three or more weeks. The itineraries contain modules that fit well together. Spend less time figuring out how to travel from A to B and let us arrange your transport while in China. We can also arrange a comfortable arrival in China; our China arrival tours include airport pick-up and a hotel stay during your first nights in China.

As an internet travel agency, we work quickly and efficiently behind the scenes. Simply note down the China travel modules or suggested itinerary you're interested in, submit your enquiry via the online quote request form and we'll send you a no-obligation quotation for your trip called a China travel plan. 

When you're content with your China travel plan, you can book it via the electronic booking form or just give us a call. We'll collect a deposit, and then once we've confirmed your booking and finalised the payments, your China travel documents will be emailed to you.
