The problem

China is incredible. Planning it is a part-time job.

You've seen the videos — the high-speed rail, the skylines, the street food. What the videos don't show is everything standing between you and that trip:

20–40 hours of researchBlogs contradict each other, and rules that were true last month aren't true today.
Apps that need Chinese IDTrain booking sites are notoriously unfriendly to foreign passports.
Hotels that refuse foreign guestsQuietly, at the front desk, after a long flight.
Visa rules, changed 3 timesThree policy overhauls in the last eighteen months — and counting.

You don't need another blog post. You need a plan that accounts for all of it — built by someone who has already made every mistake once, so you don't have to.

That's exactly what we do.

Why travelers choose us

Planned like a local would plan it.

A plan built for walking

Most itineraries are a list of attractions. Ours are routes — street-level, timed, with the metro line numbers and the noodle stop marked. You explore like a local, not a bus tourist.

Booking instructions with zero guessing

Every reservation comes with the exact app, the exact window (high-speed rail tickets open 15 days out — we tell you which day at which hour), and what to do when the face-scan fails.

You keep control of your money

We plan; you book — or we book the ground services for you at transparent prices. No $5,000 tour packages, no commission-stuffed upsells.

Prepared, not just booked

Every plan includes our China Prep Pack: visa-free eligibility check for your passport, Alipay and WeChat Pay setup walkthrough, eSIM guide, and a first-48-hours playbook written for your arrival city.

FAQ

The questions everyone asks.

Do I need a visa?

Depends on your passport and route. Citizens of around 50 countries can enter visa-free for up to 30 days under current rules. US passports are not on that list — but US citizens do qualify for 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit, provided they continue to a different country or region afterwards. A round trip US → China → US needs an L visa; US → China → Tokyo does not. Run the free 60-second check → We flag your specific situation and link the official source so you can verify.

Will my phone and credit card work?

Your cards mostly won't — that's why every plan includes our payments walkthrough: Alipay and WeChat Pay setup with your foreign card, fee rules, and a backup plan if your bank declines. It takes about 20 minutes with our guide.

Do you book my flights and hotels?

International flights, no — you'll get better prices booking directly, and we'll tell you exactly what to look for. Hotels and trains: your plan includes exact recommendations and booking steps, and our Ground tier books transfers, guides, and tickets for you.

What if I need to change the plan?

Two revision rounds are included in every Blueprint. Most plans are approved in one.

What's your refund policy?

You don't pay until you approve your draft itinerary. After that, revisions are free — if we can't get the plan right, we refund the planning fee.

Are you a real company?

Yes — US-registered, all payments through Stripe, US law governs every contract. Our ground partners are licensed operators in China.

Visa and entry information is provided for planning purposes only. Always verify current requirements with official government channels before travel.

Your trip starts with 10 questions.

Five minutes now saves you forty hours of research — and probably one expensive mistake.
