Selected Tripadvisor reviews
United Kingdom · Grand China rail journey
“Standing on the Great Wall at sunrise with no other tourists in sight was the highlight of our China tour. The guide arranged a home-cooked lunch in a Beijing hutong with a family who had lived there for generations.”
Italy · Ancient capitals and Hangzhou
“We picked tea leaves with a family whose ancestors farmed Longjing for generations. The tea ceremony that followed was the most memorable moment of our China trip.”

“Every guide felt like a friend who happened to know thousands of years of stories. The quiet Forbidden City experience was something we will never forget.”
Yes. Guests aged 70 and above cannot board Fenjiezhou Island or Wuzhizhou Island due to safety regulations. For these guests, we arrange alternative beach activities or cultural visits on the mainland while the rest of the group enjoys the islands.
October to April offers the most comfortable temperatures (22-28°C) and lowest humidity for rainforest trekking. Summer is hotter with frequent afternoon showers, but the forest is at its greenest.
Qixianling Hot Spring is generally suitable for most adults and children above 6 years old. However, travelers with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or pregnancy should consult a doctor before soaking. We recommend limiting each soak to 15–20 minutes and staying well hydrated.
We recommend lightweight, breathable clothing, comfortable hiking shoes, insect repellent, sunscreen, a hat, and a reusable water bottle. A lightweight rain jacket is also useful as afternoon showers are common in tropical rainforest areas. Most trails at Yanoda are well-paved boardwalks, so heavy hiking boots are not necessary.
At Binglang Valley, you'll see traditional Li & Miao villages with stilted houses (diaojiaolou), learn about traditional brocade weaving (Li brocade is a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage), watch Miao silver jewelry crafting, and enjoy folk performances such as the bamboo pole dance. You can also taste local specialty snacks like bamboo rice and Li-style pickled vegetables.
