Custom itineraries · planned by locals
A China route built by someone who lives here — not a coach timetable.
I have spent twelve years travelling this country by rail, and I only work with operators I have used myself. Tell me how you like to travel and I will match you with one of them — someone licensed, bilingual, and based where your trip actually happens.
The three-step vetting process
You tell us the shape of the trip
Cities or regions you care about, dates, group size, budget band and the things you would rather not do. Two minutes, no account.
We match a licensed local operator
We work with a small bench of licensed inbound operators we have travelled with personally. They hold a 旅行社业务经营许可证 and provide bilingual guides.
You receive a day-by-day plan in 48 hours
A realistic itinerary with travel times, hotel suggestions in two price bands, and a quote. You book with the operator directly — we take no booking fee.
What we will not do
- Forced shopping stops or commission-padded hotels
- Guaranteed visa outcomes — that is between you and the consulate
- Nine cities in seven days “tours” that spend the week on a bus
- Selling your contact details to anyone else. Ever.
Questions travellers ask first
Do you charge for planning?
No. Requests are free and there is no booking fee. If you go ahead, you pay the licensed operator directly for the services you choose. We are paid a fixed referral fee by the operator, disclosed in the quote.
Is this suitable for a first trip to China?
It is built for exactly that. Payments, rail booking and the visa-free transit rules are where first-timers lose time, so the plan includes the practical setup for your exact route — see the guides and the Digital Survival Kit for the app side.
How fast will I hear back?
Within 48 hours, Monday to Friday. If your travel date is inside 14 days, say so in the notes field and we will prioritise it.
Can you plan around a visa-free transit stay?
Yes — a large share of requests are 72- or 144-hour stopovers that need a route confined to the eligible region. Mention your onward flight in the notes and we will keep the itinerary compliant.

Itinerary request
Tell us about your trip
Request received
Thank you — I will read this myself and reply fromhello@visitchinahub.com within 48 hours (Mon–Fri) with a shortlist of operators and next steps. If it is urgent, reply to that email and say so.
Your details go to one operator for this quote and nowhere else. No mailing list unless you ask for the checklist. VisitChinaHub is not the tour operator; bookings are contracted directly with the licensed operator.
A small bench of operators
Six licensed inbound operators across nine regions. We add one only after travelling with them and reading their reviews with the marketing stripped out.
Bilingual by default
Every guide on the itinerary speaks English and Mandarin, and the operator provides a 24/7 Chinese phone number for your dates.
Clear contracts
You receive a written itinerary, cancellation terms and a payment schedule before you pay anything. No deposits by bank transfer to a personal account.
