The origin story
We love our parents. We're just not booking their tour.
Every second-gen kid knows the photos: the flag umbrella, the tour bus, the jade factory "shopping stop", the buffet at dawn. Our parents crossed an ocean so we could complain about their vacations — and they were right about exactly one thing: you should see China.
So we built the trip we actually wanted — and the thing our weeks were missing: a place to meet people that isn't work, an app, or somebody's wedding. A small crew of young Asian professionals, all 22–35. Nights out written into the itinerary instead of left to chance. The annoying logistics — payments, train tickets, entrance tickets — handled before you land. And the kind of group chat that's still active a year later.
What we are
Small-group China trips — small crews capped at 20, ages 22–35 — where the social connection is the product and China is the venue. Ten days with people who get the family stuff without a footnote. Designed for second-gen Asian professionals — raised in the US, Canada, the UK or Australia, English-first — reconnecting with the motherland on their own terms; open to anyone who gets the assignment.
22–35What we're not
- A party bus with a passport
- A heritage lecture with homework
- A tour that follows a flag
What we believe
Four things we refuse to compromise on.
Your people, engineered
Making friends as an adult isn't a personality problem — it's an infrastructure problem. So we built the infrastructure: small crews, a strict age band, a group chat that starts weeks before wheels-up, thoughtful roommate matching.
The China the tour bus skipped
Night markets, high-speed rail, neon streets, midnight hotpot — plus the big sights done early, before the crowds and the flag groups arrive.
Zero-logistics China
Alipay working before you land. Train tickets booked, entrances sorted. You just show up.
The group chat never dies
The trip is ten days. The chat is indefinite — a standing third space that happens to live in your pocket. Alumni meetups, first dibs on new routes, and a running argument about the best hotpot broth.
Full transparency
Where we actually are.
We're new, and we'd rather tell you that than fake a trophy wall. No invented review counts, no stock-photo "happy customers". Here's the honest state of things:
route ready to run — the 10-day flagship
routes in development, shaped by the waitlist
seats on the first departure. That's the whole point.
Sold by NYPT as booking agent · operated on the ground by a licensed local partner.
