Ready When You Are
Your China, Your Way
Send us a few lines about the trip you have in mind. We'll reply with questions, ideas and a first outline.
Start Planning →Designed Around You
A trip built from scratch around your interests, dates, pace and travelling companions, planned by a team based in China and arranged down to the last train ticket.
The Process
Tell us about your interests, travel style, group size and dates. Ancient architecture, regional food, mountain hikes or a family trip: we listen first.
Our team drafts a day-by-day itinerary with hotels, local guides, transport and experiences matched to your brief, then refines it with you until it feels right.
Everything is arranged before you land. Your guides and a direct contact at Tianyō look after the details on the ground so you can focus on the journey.
Tell Us About Your China
You don't need answers to all of them. A rough idea is enough for us to start planning.
Inspiration
A few of the directions a private journey can take. Most trips combine two or three.
The Forbidden City and the Great Wall, Xi'an's Terracotta Warriors, Song-dynasty villages and Qing-era mansions, with guides who can explain the history behind them.
Sichuan hotpot in Chengdu, hand-pulled noodles in Lanzhou, tea picking in Hangzhou, night markets and family kitchens, with a local who knows where to go.
Zhangjiajie's sandstone pillars, Huangshan's granite peaks, the karst landscapes of Guilin, Tiger Leaping Gorge and the coloured hills of Zhangye.
Porcelain studios in Jingdezhen, silk embroidery in Suzhou, thangka painting, calligraphy and woodblock printing, learned from the people who practise them.
Golden-hour light on Guilin's peaks, Xiapu's tidal flats, Fenghuang's riverside and the rice terraces of Yuanyang, timed for the best conditions.
Pandas in Chengdu, kung fu and calligraphy lessons, cycling on the Xi'an city wall and hands-on activities in ancient towns, paced for all ages.
Trace a dynasty, a route or a story: the Silk Road through Gansu, the world of Black Myth: Wukong, or the imperial capitals from Beijing to Nanjing.
Chongqing's layered skyline and light rail through apartment blocks, Shanghai's art districts and high-speed trains between them.
