China, beyond the golden route.

Probably not. Citizens of 50 countries can enter China visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism. Citizens of 57 countries — including the United States, which is not on the 30-day list — can enter visa-free for up to 240 hours (10 days) if they are genuinely transiting to a third country or region with a confirmed onward ticket. Our core routes in Enshi, Zhangjiajie and Guizhou sit entirely inside the fully covered provinces of the 240-hour policy.

For two people travelling together, our private journeys start at around US$1,480 per person for seven days, including private vehicle, driver, English-speaking guide, hotels, all listed tickets and daily breakfast. Group tours look cheaper on the headline price but usually exclude the tickets, add shopping stops, and lock your dates. We price in writing before you commit.

Yes. Every journey on this site runs for your party only — no strangers added, no fixed departure dates. You choose the dates and we build the route around them. The only shared elements are the ones you cannot avoid privately, such as a scenic-area shuttle bus.
