Questions, answered

First-time visitors ask us

Do I need a visa to visit China?

Maybe not. Citizens of dozens of countries can now enter China visa-free for up to 30 days, and transit passengers from 54 countries get up to 240 hours. Check our visa guide for details — and always confirm with official sources before you book.

How do I pay? I don’t have WeChat Pay or Alipay.

That’s exactly why travelers book with us. Your guide handles on-the-ground payments, tickets, and bookings. You pay us upfront by international card or bank transfer — no Chinese payment app required.

Can I customize everything?

Yes. Every service is private and built around your dates, pace, and interests. Tell us what a perfect day looks like and we’ll design it — then adjust on the fly while you travel.
