Who Writes China Trips

China Trips is written by travelers who have collectively spent years exploring China — from the Great Wall at sunrise to late-night hot pot in Chengdu alleyways, from cycling Yangshuo rice paddies to navigating Tibetan guesthouses in Shangri-La.

We are not a tour agency, not a booking platform, not an AI content farm. Every itinerary, every restaurant recommendation, every transit tip on this site comes from someone who has actually done it.

Our guides cover 8 major Chinese cities in depth, with day-by-day itineraries, real budgets (not aspirational estimates), honest accommodation picks across three price tiers, and restaurant recommendations with Chinese names so you can find them.

Last full verification of all prices and policies: August 2026. We update regularly and welcome corrections at [email protected].
