Real China

A perfect combination, from Beijing, the capital of China, to the most beautiful city of Yangshuo, including the historic city of Xi'an, the hometown of China's national treasure, Chengdu, the modern Chinese high-speed railway, and green cycling. The beauty of China, with a strong sense of experience, makes me feel amazed.

The Best China Tour

I have been part of many team tours, but this is the best one. The itinerary is very reasonable, just like its name. The places we have visited are all essence and highlights of China. The hotels we stayed in were better than expected, and every meal we had in China was completely different from the Chinese food in our hometown, with a better taste. Our tour guide and driver are both warm and polite, making us feel like home. Thank you again for everything they have done for us!

Incredible Trip

Brilliant China Trip

An incomparable tour. I have participated in several group tours before, which are ideal, but this trip is the most valuable one. I was impressed by the beautiful scenery of China along the way. We have been to modern and developed cities, and the people we met are also very warm and friendly. I feel that China is one of the safest countries in the world, and it is safe to go out alone at night. China's high-speed railway is probably the fastest, quietest and most modern train I have ever taken. I sincerely recommend such a trip to you!

You will love it!

It was a very unforgettable trip. Our guide was humorous and knowledgeable, which made us learn a lot of interesting things about Chinese culture. I really want to have the opportunity to travel with him again in more places in China.

Real China Highlights, a perfect trip!

A perfect trip. I was interested in the traditional culture of China before I went to China. I personally experienced and felt the cultural connotation of China for 5000 years through this trip. It is a great civilized land. The schedule is very scientific and reasonable, combining Chinese historical and cultural relics and the most beautiful natural scenery, just like its name "Real China Highlights" I highly recommend this trip.
