Destinations
Where we operate, and what for
13 cities in regular rotation, with the gateway airports agents actually route through. Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an, Chengdu and Harbin carry 14 published day tours between them; another 13 places have a page because a published itinerary routes through them.
Operating map
Every city, with its gateway
A red badge counts everything published there — day tours and the multi-day programmes that route through it. Cards without one go straight to the desk with the city already filled in.

On our routings
13 more places our published itineraries reach
Smaller than the operating map and honest about it — these have a page because a programme goes there, not because we run a desk in each one.
1 voyage
Lijiang
The Yunnan chapter that keeps a first-timer itinerary off every other brochure's page.
LJG · Programmes
1 voyage
Guiyang
The gateway into Guizhou's Dong and Miao country, and the flight most groups arrive on.

1 voyage
Changchun
An hour from Harbin by high-speed rail, and the way onto the Jilin side of the winter shelf.
CGQ · Programmes
1 voyage
Changbaishan
Ski slopes on the Korean border with its own airport, so a northeast routing can fly out of the mountain instead of doubling back.
NBS · Programmes
1 voyage

Wuxi
The Taihu shore between Suzhou and Nanjing — a giant bronze Buddha, a Zen resort town, and the lake itself.
WUX / via SHA · Programmes
Places that only mean something inside an itinerary — a Dong village, a farmhouse hamlet on the far side of a pass, a forest park — stay in the route line rather than becoming a page of their own. A page for every proper noun would say less, not more.
Honest scale
5 day-tour cities is a scale statement, not a limit
Publishing a day tour means committing to a fixed price, a fixed meeting point, and a guide who shows up whether two people book or twenty. We have that shelf in Beijing, Shanghai, Xi’an, Chengdu and Harbin. We are not going to fake it for the other 8 so a page looks fuller.
Everywhere else we operate the same way we always have — against your brief, quoted per program. That covers ground handling, multi-city series, FIT, and MICE. The difference is the commercial model, not the capability.
Before you brief
What speeds up a city quote
- Entry and exit gateway — it decides rail vs air between cities
- Nationality mix, if any transit or visa-free routing is in play
- Guide language — we run EN, ES, and RU on scheduled departures
- Permit-controlled areas such as Tibet need materially longer lead times; flag them in the first message
Need a city that isn't listed?
We operate more than we publish. Send the route and we will tell you honestly what we can run well — and what we would sub-contract.
