Experience China Like Never Before
With a travel advisor who's walked the Great Wall, navigated the visa process, and has trusted local partners waiting to welcome you.
Discover the China You've Been Dreaming Of
China is calling you. The Great Wall. The Terracotta Warriors. The pandas of Chengdu. The karst mountains of Guilin. You've been dreaming about it for years.
But every time you start planning, you hit the same walls: How do I get a visa? Will I be able to communicate? How do I coordinate trains, hotels, and guides across such a massive country? Is it even safe?
Here's the truth: Planning a trip to China on your own is overwhelming. But with the right advisor—someone who's been there, has trusted local partners, and knows the visa process inside and out—it's not just possible. It's extraordinary.
I've been planning luxury trips for over 20 years. I know what works, what doesn't, and how to create experiences that exceed your wildest expectations.
Let's make your China dream a reality.
Why Trust Me with Your China Journey?
I've Been There
This isn't theoretical knowledge from a guidebook. I've traveled China—from the bustling streets of Shanghai to the serene landscapes of Guilin. I know what works, what doesn't, and what will take your breath away.
Trusted Local Partners
I work with vetted, English-speaking guides and tour operators who live in China. They're not just service providers—they're my partners who share my commitment to creating extraordinary experiences.
Visa Expertise
The China visa process intimidates most travelers. I've guided dozens of clients through it successfully. I know exactly what documents you need, how to fill them out, and how to avoid the common mistakes that cause delays.
20+ Years of Luxury Travel
I've been planning high-end travel since before "luxury travel advisor" was even a thing. I know how to balance authentic experiences with the comfort and service you expect.
Why I Fell in Love with China!
I'll never forget my first trip to China. I was nervous—the language barrier, the unfamiliar customs, the sheer foreignness of it all. But within hours of landing in Beijing, I was captivated.
It was the contrasts that got me. Ancient temples next to gleaming skyscrapers. Serene tea ceremonies in the morning, bustling night markets in the evening. The way history and modernity dance together in a way you don't see anywhere else.
But what really sealed the deal? The people. My local guide didn't just show me the sights—he showed me his China. The hole-in-the-wall dumpling shop his grandmother took him to as a kid. The hidden garden where locals practice tai chi at dawn. The tea house where we spent an entire afternoon learning about tea culture.
That's the China I want you to experience. Not the tourist version. The real one. The one that changes you.
What Makes China Travel Different?
Let's be honest about what you're getting into—and why it's worth it.
The Challenge
China requires a visa for U.S. citizens, and the application process is detailed and specific.
How I Help
I provide a step-by-step guide, review your documents before submission, and connect you with reliable visa services. I've done this dozens of times—you won't be figuring it out alone.
THe challenge
English isn't widely spoken outside major tourist areas, and even Google Translate has limitations.
How I Help
All my local partners are fluent English speakers. Your guides, drivers, and key contacts will be able to communicate clearly. Plus, I provide you with essential phrases and cultural tips.
The Challenge
Chinese customs, etiquette, and social norms are very different from Western culture.
How I help
I brief you on what to expect, what's considered polite, and how to navigate situations gracefully. You'll feel confident, not confused.
The Challenge
China is massive. High-speed trains, domestic flights, hotel bookings—it's complex to coordinate.
How I help
I handle every single detail. Your itinerary will be seamless, with private transfers, pre-booked tickets, and backup plans for everything.
My Local Partnerships Make All the Difference
I don't work with just anyone. My China partners are carefully selected based on years of collaboration and proven results.
English Speaking Guides
Not just translators—cultural ambassadors who bring China's history and culture to life. They answer your questions, adapt to your interests, and become your trusted companions throughout the journey.
Insider Access
Skip the lines at major attractions. Get early access to popular sites. Dine at restaurants that don't advertise to tourists. My partners open doors that would otherwise stay closed.
On-the-Ground Support
If anything goes wrong (flight delay, hotel issue, change of plans), my local partners are there to fix it immediately. You have support in your time zone, speaking your language.
Authentic Experiences
My partners are Chinese locals who love their country and want to share it authentically. They know the hidden gems, the local favorites, and the experiences that create lasting memories.
What a China Journey Looks Like
Every trip is customized to your interests, pace, and travel style. Here's a sample 12-day itinerary to inspire you:
DAYS 1-4: Beijing: Imperial Grandeur
Days 5-7 Sichuan Province: Chengdu & Leshan
DAYS 8-12: Shanghai: Modern Marvel
This is just one possibility. Your China journey will be designed around how you want to feel, what you want to experience, and who you're traveling with.
