Lovely Tour to Guilin

The organisation of our tour by Mandy Zhu was perfect. We were looked after throughout every section of the tour, met at destinations by very knowledgeable and friendly guides, who all spoke very good English, and driven in comfort by competent drivers. The whole team made us feel we were in good hands, and helped us learn and understand the history of the many places we visited. I would highly recommend Heziqing to anyone planning a customised tour through China. They were flexible to our requirements, and gave us good advice throughout.

unforgettable tour in Tibet

I want to thank Jojo for organizing the Tibet tour for me. If you got Jojo as your travel consultant, you are in good hands! She's attention to details, quick to response and goes out of her way to help address any questions and concerns that you may have. Although I experienced severe high altitude sickness, I managed to enjoy the beautiful scenery that Tibet had to offer. Our tour guide Dawa and our driver Dr. Guo were awesome. They were very patience and understanding. If you have to chose between standard hotels vs comfort hotels, chose comfort hotels. Some of my fellow travelers regretted booking standard hotels. Just beware, they don't have non smoking hotel rooms. The hotel rooms reeked with cigarette smoke, which got me sick at the end. My tour guide tried to get me a non smoking room, but all the rooms are the same. Overall the Tibet trip was a wonderful experience!

This tour was fascinating, if challenging in places. The Wall sections walked covered a good range of types from rammed earth banks, to steps large and small, and steep hillside climbs. The views were fabulous, and there was a real sense of history on the unrestored sections, which we more or less had to ourselves. The incidental visits: boat trip, tombs, Beijing sights, were great and a good trigger for Oliver our guide to share cultural history with us. We mostly walked to the guesthouses from the Wall, and met our luggage there. All the accommodation was clean and comfortable - it generally exceeded expectations. We ate as a group every night, in local restaurants which were uniformly delicious, and around 100-150 yuan a night. Added to a good breakfast a few snacks were all that was needed to get us through the day so no time was wasted on lunch, which was a bonus. Bring gloves and boots with good grip, and poles for slippy downhill sections.

An excellent holiday, covering all the key highlights of China in a pacy and interesting way. Tracy Zhang our guide was excellent and expertly navigated us through the complex logistics of our travel between cities and our sightseeing excursions. Delicious food and lovely places, thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you!

Planning tips for solo travelers to China

Safest destinations in China for single travelers

China’s position at 88th on the 2024 Global Peace Index underscores its moderate safety, yet major urban centers feel particularly secure for independent travelers. Statistically, the risk of kidnapping for solo women is often likened to being struck by lightning, and cities like Shanghai, Beijing, and Chengdu report low violent-crime rates after dark. Shanghai’s Pudong and Jing’an districts offer extensive CCTV, reliable metro service, and well-lit streets—ideal for exploring the Bund or Yuyuan Garden. In Beijing, Chaoyang’s 798 Art Zone combines English-labeled subway stations with safe pedestrian pathways, though outside these hubs a translation app can ease communication. Chengdu’s relaxed teahouse culture and growing acceptance of LGBTQI+ community signal a warm social atmosphere. That said, LGBTQ+ travelers should be mindful that same-sex activity is legal but lacks formal protections, and public displays of affection (straight or gay) are generally discouraged. While pockets of LGBTQ+ nightlife and community centers in Beijing and Shanghai provide support, discretion remains wise. Overall, China’s megacities blend modern infrastructure with evolving attitudes.

Cost of traveling to China alone

Solo travel in China can be surprisingly affordable. Backpackers often spend USD 30–70 per day (hostels, street food, local transport). At Bookmundi, China solo tours start at USD 113 per person, covering your accommodations, breakfasts and some meals, transport, and select activities. Single supplements for private rooms typically add USD 20–40 per night, depending on the tour and hotel standards. While big cities like Beijing and Shanghai can cost more, you can still experience rich culture and iconic sights without breaking the bank.
