No flags. No jade factory stops. No 6 a.m. buffets.
We love our parents. We're just not booking their tour.
Their tour
- Follow the flag umbrella
- 6:00 a.m. buffet call
- Jade factory "shopping stop"
- A coach full of strangers, mostly your parents' age
- Photo, bus, repeat
Your trip
- A small crew — capped at 20, all 22–35
- Nights out actually on the itinerary
- Midnight hotpot > hotel buffet
- Street food with people who split everything
- One group chat that outlives the trip
The routes
Trips that don't feel like tours.
Same motherland. Different itinerary.
Friendship, engineered
Nobody hands you a new friend group after college. So we build the room.
The social part isn't left to chance — it's the product.
The chat starts before the trip
You'll know your crew's names, cities, and memes weeks before wheels-up.
Nights out, on the itinerary
The evenings are planned like the days — night plans written into the itinerary, plus free nights that split the crew into smaller plans and reshuffle it daily.
Roommates, matched
Coming solo? We pair you thoughtfully — or get your own room. Either way, nobody's stuck.
The annoying parts, handled
You just show up.
Payments set up
Alipay or WeChat Pay working on your phone before you land. China is cashless; you won't be stranded.
Trains + tickets booked
High-speed rail, entrance tickets, transfers. Booked, named, and matched to your passport. Done.
Language backup
Guides in every city — though your "wo yao zhege" will still get its moment.
Getting in is easier than your parents remember.
- Canadian, British or Australian passport? You're in visa-free — up to 30 days, no application, through Dec 31, 2026.
- US passport? Get the standard tourist visa — that's the route we recommend: walk in at your nearest Chinese consulate, no appointment, and it's typically issued for 10 years of trips. The 240-hour visa-free transit only works if you fly onward to a third country or region — treat it as a backup, not the plan.
- We walk every crew member through which route fits their passport and itinerary before anyone books flights.
Entry policies change. Verify current rules with the Chinese National Immigration Administration or your nearest consulate before booking.
Read before you fly
The 1am questions, answered.
Entry rules, safety, the right first itinerary — dated facts with official sources, and none of the fluff.
Who's this for
Built for young Asian professionals.
For the second-gen kids raised in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia on stories of the motherland — English-first, family dialect that stalls somewhere around food words — who never saw China their own way. For the ones whose closest friends are scattered across three time zones. And for the partners and friends-of-the-group who just love hotpot. For ages 22–35, every background welcome — especially anyone who gets the assignment.
